Right, I'm not in a good mood, cause there's a small scratch on my copy of Phantasy Star Online, which renders me unable to play any further and I am NOT happy about it.

However, bundled with the import came the Sonic Adventure 2 demo. I popped it in the Dreamcast, waited for the Sonic Team logo to fade out then BOOM! I hit the Start button on me Dreamcast controller and before I could get my bearings I was, what best could be described as 'Snowboarding' down a series of roads at high-speed, collecting rings, the amazing feat here was that there was an extremely high level of detail, whilst the game was plodding along at a frantic pace of 60fps.

Something else that pleased me was the notable lack of slow-down not to mention the minimal hint of pop-up that occured too.

The Truck scene that everyone was raving about? Wait until your actually in control of our beloved Sonic, seriously, I haven't seen anything like it!

It's only the one level on the Demo GD, but to say it's merely 'good' is an understatement. It's one thing seeing the clips, it's another actually playing it...
