I've played PD quite a bit more and am enjoying it more and more. The game will no doubt be a favourite of mine for a long time. About the slow-down though, I think this game is getting a bad rep for no reason. The only place that the slow-down/framerate was noticeable to the point of being annoying was with the Co-Op missions on High-rez, but it was fine on Low-rez. My friend and I didn't even notice it, the game's too much fun. I found it more surprising that when playing multiplayer with 6 sims there was practically no noticeable slow-down. SPOILER ||| ||| \/ \/ Also, has anyone worked out any cool multiplayer scenarios to set up? I heard a good one called "Assassinate the Prez". Basically the a human player plays the president, that is in Air Force One mission in the game, and has two Dark Sims as his presidential security. The other players are assassinators on the opposing team (and maybe a couple of sims as well). The great thing is that with teams you can also control your sims. My friends and I tried this one out and it was a lot of fun. Later all.
