I might go for a plain red one but probably not. Only in America would this car not be good enough for someone, so they had to fiddle about with it, put some stripes across the top of it and turn it into the GTS version. Pound for pound, buck for buck, that’s got to be the most awesome piece of 4-wheeled kit that you can legally drive on the public highway. I may have mine done out in metallic black with neon pink stripes, but that’s just personal preference and you can feel free to treat it with the contempt that it deserves. Just don’t start going on about how Porsches or Ferraris are great. Nice cars, admittedly, but I’m not interested in ‘nice’, only stupidly powerful, impractical, loud and fast. With no room for any luggage or ankle-grabbers, thank you very much. A Dodge Viper, please. That’ll do nicely."

He mentions the problems with running the game on HP568 and mapping the controls, which is true... (please note: I've only tried the demo version).

I tried to map the controls to the normal "home", "contact", "calendar" and "task" buttons but that didn't seem to work...

I then mapped accelerate to "up" and brake to "down". When playing the game I use the D-pad for stering (right hand) and the up and down control the HP568 has on the left hand side for accelerating and braking. Works quite nicely!

Still couldn't map gear up and gear down to anything, but in the demo the car seems to be shifting gears automatically.

And yes it's a cool game with lots of speed!

DumJT's review is really good, and he seems to like the Dodge Viper... (read and see) :D
