BAD NEWS!!!

320x200 is as good as it gets!  I know...I know - the box says 640x480
24bit color but the LIE LIE LIE!  I called Psygnosis and after the
customary hour on hold I was told WHAT I SEE IS WHAT I GET to which I
promptly replied - SORRY - YOU JUST LOST A SALE then I proceeded to
return it to Electronics Boutique and bought Cyberia 2 instead (a much
better game anyway)

Up to this point I had been under the impression that PC versions of
PlayStation games were better but NO WAY!!!  That same day I also
bought Destruction Derby and WipeOut.   Now I have all 3 of these
games for PlayStation so I know HOW GOOD they are (can be) so I had
really high hopes for the PC versions.   THEY ALL SUCKED!!!!!!

All were 320x200 blocky graphics - no transparent smoke so when you
fired a missile you lost your vision - CD-Audio music and WORST WORST
of all the MAIN REASON I bought these games were all for MULTI-PLAYER
and come to find out there is NO MODEM support - only serial link and
network play - and Wipeout made you send in for the Multi-Player
upgrade - yeah right!!!   Without modem play - these games are as
worthless for multi-player play as the PSX versions - after all who is
gonna haul their PSX and 27" TV over to your house to play games - the
same people who will bring over their Pentium and 17" monitor to play
serial games - NO ONE!!!!!

My advice to you is to return Rigs and STAY WAY from direct ports of
home video games.  Of course if you do not have a PlayStation THEN GO
BUY ONE because the games cannot be beat or duplicated.  In fact some
PC games are being ported to PSX that are EVEN better than their PC
counterparts - namely DESCENT - CREATURE SHOCK - JOURNEYMAN PROJECT
and many more.  I now wait to find out if a title is scheduled for
release on PSX before I purchase the PC version because it will always
be worth the wait for the PSX version.
