Some new screens emerged from the Jap retail version......

I have serious doubts if they are the final game shots, they are so far removed from the demo version in terms of visual quaity it's hard to believe they've made it look so much nicer in such a short period of time, i'll hold out until i start seeing some official reviews on this one before rushing out and ordering based on the above.

Having played the demo I can easily see the retail being this good and if not then so what. The game already looks/plays great!

been playing this for a while at work and its blooming great fun.

not a long term game but a gret pick up and have a 30 mins bash.

Pre ordered from Yes Asia. Look forward to it arriving. Cant complain for £30

Oh i'm not knocking the game, the demo is great fun (apart from over sensitive sixaxis control on the bike mode) just that i dont believe the screen shots above are representative of what final gameplay are, and more than probably cgi so people shouldn't rush out to buy the game based on the screenies above is all.

The above shots are off screen grabs from the in-game engine, MS CGI is alot better than the above.....

Pictures taken off a TV screen tend to hide flaws, plus there scalled down hiding any possible aliasing.

Kikizo were very impressed with this latest build..... http://games.kikizo.com/news/200611/101_p1.asp

Suppose to have been out yesterday from Yes Asia...now it looks like they cant get it or ran out of pre order stock...here we go again....

Appart frmo yes-asia, where else can you get the jap imports from since play-asia wont ship them to the EU?

Going by some first impressions posted elsewhere of the retail release it's ace. Even better than the demo.

Apparently there is some English text in it, mixed with the Japanese.

...Loving the wet mud there - looks fantastic !

I hope they nail the Eu/US online to at least 12 players...

I have just checked my order with Yes Asia and they are saying checking with suppliers, in other words we dont have stock....

I wonder if we will see them this side of Christmas...

I dont know if its worth importing this version, when the full us/euro version is only 3 months away?

I knew it was a stripped down version, but is it this much stripped down?

Paid less than ?25 for it so no big loss. Can always get the UK version latter if I still like it. I'm loving the demo so the JPN release should warrant ?25.
