bout half hour tops

Questions (that I can find out on my own in about 6 hours but I thought I would ask anyway):

Is there any local multiplayer? (splitscreen type)

Is it fun/cool/worth 9.99?

Other thoughts or comments?

No splitscreen.

The game is fun, though. It's like a vehicle based Monkey Ball, really. Each level has 3 objectives too (you aren't expected to get them in one run, though). You can collect all of the stars (think banannas in SMB), grab the GS emblem, and finish it within set times.

While you are using a vehicle, it hardly adheres to any realistic physics. The game allows a crazy amount of air control like some sort of vehicle based semi-platformer or something. You can even use the sixaxis motion sensing function to adjust your car in mid-air.

The game takes a while to get into, however, due to the unique handling and the tutorial levels are really small and simplistic.

No split screen in the demo is a show stopper for me. If ppl like the purchase version's multiplayer, I'll consider it. Although, I'm skeptical my younger siblings will like it- you spend so much effort just trying not to fly off the road.

My best time on the race level is 1:14 with 25/25 stars. The world record is better by 10 seconds. It seems like if you get atacked once, you can forget about the record.

You aren't exactly supposed to stick to the road, you know...


...and that doesn't make sense how? :P

It's a paid demo?

there's both, a free demo and a $9.99 full version of the game.

> You aren't exactly supposed to stick to the road, you know...

You can leave the track and drive on the ground, sure. But it's very easy to drive off the ground and fall into the sky.

> and that doesn't make sense how? :P

I didn't say it didnt make sense. I'm saying that once you get hit once, you prolly won't get the record of 1.04 seconds. Hope this helps.

The steering is horrible. Where is a controller sensitivity setting on PS3?
