Well, the scenery looks really good in that trailer!

I'm pretty sure I'll be picking this one up on launch day. It looks like the perfect game to play with friends. I hope there are a lot of unlockable trucks and maps!

It does look far better than I remember.

As fun as this game looks (and it does look fun) I can't help but think it would be more fun if it were first-person (“first-truck”?). Why are so many driving games from the perspective of a camera hovering above the vehicle?

(And, yes, I know most driving games give the option of first person perspective, but then the games are much harder then, since they're meant to be played from a third-person view.)

Does anyone else notice that the usage of stars smacks of Burnout something awful?

Just curious.

This game is one of my most-wanted. To me it looks like a land-based version of Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast, which was a TON of fun to play.

Bring it on!

Is it just me, or does that little girl have some disproportionately HUGE hands??

Did anyone notice the 11/135 at the top of the screen?

135 racers in one race? With trucks? Kewl.

sphetr2, I think that's the number of trick points they accumulated outof 135, not the number of racers in the game. You'll notice it increments as they do tricks.

To #7

Tom, that called foreshortening and a good example of it too. Her hands are just fine, but I'm pretty sure that post was made in jest.

That said I'm really excited about this game, not only does it look fun but it will be the game that will get my girlfriend back into gaming, she loves off-road games, arcade racers, n crap like that so this looks perfect.
