if you find it or the new opm, let us know where. i stopped at like three places that sell magazines today, and had no luck.
oh: those three places were the newsstand at the sherman oaks galleria, the tower records at the sherman oaks galleria, and some newsstand on the corner of laurel canyon and ventura. so don't bother with those.

BOE? Hello? *crickets chirp*
I guess tell us how it is when you get back. I hope the demo lives up to your hype.

Classic. :lol
I got the mag and the demo disc but the disc did not work. I was beside myself. WTF. So I moseyd over to the OXM forums on TXB and others had the same problem. BTW my Xbox is only ayear old. Long story short, I had to boil up some water, drop the disc in, take the pot off the flame and let the water cool. removed disc and dried, works like a charm. I have no idea WTF is wrong with the DVDs OXM uses becuase it sure is hell ain't my Xbox.

I just played the demo at wal-mart today... it's ehhh...
my impressions of the DEMO? Meh!
i had much more fun playing at e3. the demo is too damn short and i'll admit it does seem slow after burnout 3. having only 3 sections hurts the demos leisurely pace. The graphics do own BO3 though atleast. solid AM2 arcade quality. sega should have skipped the branching paths for the demo in favor of 1 randomly generated full race comprised of different sections mirrored, reversed and so on, which IS part of the full game. LIVE demo is fun. 12 days and the real deal will be MINE!!!

So the E3 demo was better... That's often the case vs. magazine disc demos. How did you like the LIVE mode though, Be?

LIVE is awesome. i played most on LIVE. anyone who said they finished the single player demo on their first try is a damn liar. i STILL havent finished the demos single play. the sliding IS NOT easy. i mean its easy to do but its gonna be difficult to master. I have a feeling the 101 mission mode is gonna own hardcore. i'm dying for time attack mode as well. i wanna inch around the course and admire every detail. the game is stunning.
found the oxm at a tower records, still haven't found the opm.
i'm honestly not that impressed with outrun 2. and i say that as a huge fan of the original outrun. it just lacks outrun's intensity - that desperate feeling of hanging on to a powerslide through traffic, with mistakes harshly punished. the tracks are too wide, and your car takes curves too easily. the long sweeping vistas are gorgeous, and it's fun to play, but it doesn't feel like outrun to me.
and it does feel slow after burnout 3. it's a hugely better game than burnout 3 overall, though. at least you're actually rewarded for taking the turns rather than scraping along the walls like a spaz.
edit: i am really looking forward to the super gt and daytona 2 tracks, though. they're far more technical and unforgiving than anything i've seen from outrun 2.

meh as in the demo is fucked. its a piss poor representation of the complete game. i guess it gives the feel of the classic arcade game but THAT IT. complaints of the demo feeling like a sega arcade game are correct. i got bored after a few runs. if live wasnt included it'd be a bust and it'd sell like crap.
oh, i've played the full course a few times at e3. i'm not sure if i played the hardest routes, but i never had any trouble with the turns. i think the demo is pretty representative.
that said, i just played through the demo a few more times, and i'm enjoying it a bit more. bumping the difficulty up helps -- i don't think it changes anything besides the timer, but that's enough to reintroduce the "one mistake and you're fucked" paradigm from the original. and the simplified powerslides are kind of a kick...it's cool taking one continuous slide through an s-curve.
the game's detractors are selling it short in at least one respect: if you want low times, you need to employ both grip turns and drift turns. a lot of the time you should really just ease off the accelerator instead of throwing the car sideways. i'm still a few seconds short of clearing the course on very hard, but it's already apparent that there's some substance here.
i dunno. outrun 2 is to burnout 3 as tales of symphonia is to sudeki. neither is particularly brilliant, but only one is an uncomprehending imposture.
