You got to get a copy of Wheelman, it is brillant. You start of the game in a holden, then you get to keep driving the holdens around. Game play is brillant, and the graphics are amazing. If this is one of the games you buy, this would have to be it. Shame it is called a Pontiac, but a stunning car non the less.

If you do get it, let me know what you think.

Demo was somewhat "meh" for me, but I'm more the hard-core PC gamer. My 360 just plays DVDs (noisily) for the most part.

You can indeed! When a lad at work used to drive a 350Z I challenged him to race our cars virtually, mine being a 6.0VXR

Wasted him on the straights, but never could get the thing to turn corners. Hmm, it's a wonder I make it to work alive each day if you believe the handling!

On a more serious note, if you've got a game on the PS3 or 360, a PS2 version (if it existed) wouldn't really be a PS2 version of exactly the same game. You can't really scale a game engine for the current generation such that it will work on those massively smaller machines. It would be a different game that looks a bit like its big brother.

So what I'm saying is, don't waste your money.

I've got a ZX Spectrum under the TV that's over 20 years old, oh yes, cassette tape action! Although I've the decency to have it surrounded by more modern gaming hardware

WOWEEE!

Raggyman - a Holden you say?!

None of us on here get the opportunity to drive Holdens.........!

As you've guessed I'm not a gamer, so should probably shut up now.....

HA... yeah, but you don't get to drive a holden, smash it up, and then hit reset and get a brand new one.. Must remember : Real Life isn't a game, and you can't run other people off the road..

Okay, I suppose for the rest of us that don't drive like the Duke Brothers, its a good way to have some fun, but personally I prefer the seat of your pants feel of the real thing....

It seems to matter more when you know you can't reset.

It does ache a touch more in real life though laugh

Must admit I came in the shop yesterday and the staff and most the kids that came in the shop where playing wheelman all day.

Its the sort of game that sells round here though. The kids love the fact I have a Monaro as its in a few of the recent games.
