                                UGO: If you could have a 
                                superpower, what would it be and why? 
                                
  ME: Oh, superpower. I was thinking about 
                                countries. Well, that's an easy one. Surely just 
                                to be able to fly. Because I think it would just 
                                give you the ability to see so much. You know 
                                the footage from inside jets and so on. Being 
                                able to be like Superman, so stand on the edge 
                                of a cliff and just go whoosh. I'd rather do 
                                that then have the arms like Elastic Man. It 
                                think it would be a lot more useful to 
                                fly. |

                                The culprit right now is Atari 
                                with DRIV3R, with reports coming in today of 
                                demands for at least 9/10 score in exchange for 
                                early review code. Although the build with 
                                magazines at the moment is described as being 
                                “…two or three weeks away from being final,” it 
                                has not lived up to expectations with certain 
                                press contacts. However, in order to obtain the 
                                code, a score of nine has been demanded by 
                                Atari’s PR team. 
  Other culprits of late 
                                include Sonic Heroes, which Sega’s European PR 
                                office demanded scores of at least 8/10 in 
                                exchange for code, a shoddy state of affairs 
                                indeed. As you may remember, all early scores 
                                were 8/10 for Sonic. Strange huh? 
  Tomb 
                                Raider was another game for which it was 
                                demanded that a certain score must be granted 
                                before review coverage was agreed. Impressively, 
                                10/10 was the requested score, though as you 
                                know, various editors bartered this down. 
                                
  Another is Devil May Cry II, for which 
                                Capcom demanded 8/10 for the exclusive. Turok 
                                Evolution also came pre-decorated with an eight

                            I picked the 
                              game up on my way home tonight as after all this i 
                              want to try it for myself. 
  Had a quick 15 
                              minutes on it and so far it's better than i 
                              expected. No bugs so far (been playing free drive 
                              and driving games not the mission mode). 
                              
  The pop up is pretty bad and there's some 
                              tearing in the graphics now and then but these are 
                              both forgivable (just) so far. The gameplay seems 
                              fine so far, no problems getting in and out of 
                              cars and no sign of any glitches or bugs yet. 
                              
  I'll play it properly tonight and report 
                              back my opinions later. 
  In the meantime 
                              can i just say to anyone with the XBOX version who 
                              has live - you HAVE to see this clip.. 
                              
  Sign into live, then press right to see 
                              the list of "top director" clips people have 
                              uploaded, select one by a guy called "KASPO" 
                              uploaded on 25/06/04 at 14:23 - it's so funny.. 
                              Tanner perving over a bikini chick.. very funny 
                              stuff.. especially the part about half way where 
                              he's doing something dodgy behind a tree then 
                              seems to leave a suspect white stain on it..   _________________ http://www.silver-sun.co.uk/ -

                            Well, I have 
                              just rented and played this game for about an hour 
                              now. I've had a free drive around the city for a 
                              good while to get used to the controls, and 
                              completed the first couple of missions. 
                              
  I'll withhold full judgement on the 
                              gameplay for the moment. But to be completely 
                              fair, I would have to say that I've found the game 
                              reasonably enjoyable so far. 
  But, what I can 
                              say straight off the bat is that I can not for the 
                              life of me understand why, in my copy of Xbox 
                              World, they summarise the graphics at the end of 
                              their review with the words "Stunning cars and 
                              cities. Just Stunning - 9". 
  The graphics 
                              are noticably poor from the very moment you start 
                              playing the game. How anybody could claim to sort 
                              out that mess in a few weeks is beyond 
                              me. |    |
