Yeah yeah, I know... no new site yet.The distractions and sidelines keep on piling up.
So the trip to York was awesome, and I should probably put photos on flickr, but I havent even got round to that yet.
Then yesterday I went to the hospital for this hernia, though it was only a consultation, not surgery yet.
It seems there's around a 3 month waiting list for surgery, which while it's nice as far as being mentally prepared is concerned, means we've had to cancel our holiday to devon. The chances are, the surgery would be scheduled either slap bang in the middle of the holiday, or just before it, and I don't wanna be several hundred miles away in the event of post surgery complications.
So the final distraction, predictably, is a game.
Tourist Trophy is, quite literally, Gran Turismo on motorbikes. All the same circuits... same graphics and physics engines, same game structure, same everything... just on motorbikes.
Is it good?
Oh hell yeah!
Is it easy to get into?
Well... you could never really just load up Gran Turismo, play it and be good... the same is doubly true of Tourist Trophy. You really have to practice to be remotely competative, but once you've got the swing of it, the level of satisfaction when you win a race is way up there.
I get the feeling Gran Turismo on PS3 is gonna be something along the lines of Gran Turismo 4 with bettwe graphics, combined with this.... as from what I've read, it includes bikes.
Very clever use of resources, making an entire standalone game out of what is effectively just extra stuff added onto an earlier game, to make a next gen game... if you get my meaning.
