To bad you are not a member of this list, Jodie, but Well well said! I love rail racer for its complexity. In fact that's all I do play. One misstep and I crash, or loose or run out of fuel. I think we should all support Che and his well done efforts for developing such a wonderful game. In fact if it is ok with him. I'm going to try and put together a bang up review for m podcast. it might even include some online racing so they can hear how wonderful and real this game is for me. I've gotten distracted during some races, even nodded off and just like in the real world, I payed the price. so please don't go bashing this game. Practice it! just! practice! it!
SA&G :>I like this posting very much from Jordi on the rr topic.
