I love how draw distance seems to be optional in this...honestly this goes beyond budget.

You get...what you pay for.

made me smile!

Rockstar needs to make GTA4: Europe (London/Paris/Rome/Venice/Swiss Alps/Amsterdam and the mountain from Sound of Music). GTA4: Asia would be cool too.

Is it meant to be a simulation of what it would be like to drive if you couldn't see 15 feet in front of you?

Hmm... it's bad, but it's kind of captivating anyway. It might be a bad game but it's an interesting piece of art.

I get it now! It was a design decision to have the lowest possible view distance since the AI is probably so bad - it was the only way to create a "challenging" game. And Phoenix seems to be proud of working on budget games... as far as I know World of Goo was a "budget" game - a $15 game made by two people (so they say) and was one of the best games in recent memory... Phoenix should just rename themselves Phe0nix Gamez.

Upvote for suckage!!

I have this huge fear they're going to start making games for the Wii in the very near future and my in-laws will buy my kids games like this!!

At the very least, it's inspiration to know that anyone can take a good 15-25 minutes and pump out a PS2 game!!

I could almost forgive the other flaws if it wasn't for the draw distance.

I guess that's what happens when your budget gets pulled 27 seconds into development.

It's the London Cab Challenge: complete with fog? Well, that explains the distance.
