SWEET HEY ZEUS ALMIGHTY I WANT THIS GAME SO &$#*ING BAD THAT I WILL KILL PEOPLE FOR IT DRNOWEFWFOWEBFOWE*
Erm... yeah. What I meant to say is I've been waiting for this game ever since I played the first one. I said in
my Burnout review that it was a type of game that could be perfected with a sequel. I said that because I knew immediately that there was going to be a sequel. And hot damn, are we going to get one.
Let me put it this way: I want this game more than I want any other game. This includes Zelda. In fact, I want this game so damn badly, I've been seriously considering buying an Xbox
just for this game so I can get the best possible version of the game. (Of course, the problem there is that I'm scheduled to review the GC version of the game (along with two other staffers, since half of PGC is also waiting for this game with baited breath) and getting the Xbox version would defeat that.) I played a tiny bit of it on the PS2, but not too much as to spoil it. However, I think playing just that little tiny bit has indeed spoiled me. And now I want to play it Right now.
And in case you're curious about it, Sony did have a time exclusive on this game, as well as the original. Of course, the problem with that this time around is everyone knew that the sequel was coming to other systems this time around, which is why you haven't heard Acclaim talk all that much about the sales of the game. People are waiting for the far better GC and Xbox games. I am waiting for them. I want them NOW.
