Released tomorrow, I believe.

Anyone ordered it?
Anyone seen or played it yet?

Is this the exact multi-player mayhem that we've been looking for...?!

According the early reviews, that is all it is. Got the same stench as the Star Wars game - online multiplayer only, and nothing for single players.

I as about to buy it - changed my mind...

Can't disagree with the reviews. Had it a week and played less than an hour. It's not hooked me at all. Maybe playing local multiplayer with mates might be what makes it interesting so will wait to try that out.

Me too. Had it a couple of weeks and just not got into it.

There's not a lot to get into... no single player career of any sort. Local co-op matches are okaaaay, but the handling was clearly set up to be comically drifty which actually turns out to be idiotic and frustrating.

Mulitplayer is ok, but often end up in 16 player matches with just 3 or 4 human players (the rest AI). Loading times to join games are awful. There's a levelling up system that seems to offer different things for each of the vehicles you can choose to be, which looks interesting but I couldn't be bothered to stick with it

Oh, if anyone wants to buy a copy, PM me ;-)
