Oh dear. The game doesn't even have anything to do with catching pokemon in cages, slaveships, or whatever you which to call it. This is just a pointless witch hunt, maybe in response to the fact that Nintendo's pokemon marketing has been brutally successful, regardless of the fact that people like you enjoy to poke fun at their lamer commercials.

OK, so I bought a used copy of Need for Speed: High Stakes for PSX. I've liked the series for a while; some of you may remember me posting a comparitive review of NFS:HS vs. Beetle Adventure Racing when both games were new. Don't get me wrong, I still think BAR is a great game, but why oh why hasn't EA or some other developer implemented a pursuit mode into a quality racing game on N64? Does EA have a "patent" on pursuit mode or something? I know BAR started out as a NFS game for N64, and can't help but wonder why they didn't include pursuit mode. I mean, they have the cop beetle in the game and everything. Anyone heard anything about EA or anyone else including a 2-player (or, dare I suggest, 4 player) pursuit mode in a good racing game for N64? What about Dreamcast? I WANT PURSUIT MODE! If you've never tried it... trust me, it's a great racing game innovation that should be standard in more games. Why isn't it?

I've been playing the N64 version a bit, and it's a good game, although I guess I'm too spoiled by the DC's graphics because I just don't like how it looks. Nevertheless, the DC version should be equal to the N64 version in every way except for graphics, which should be definitely better. I'll be waiting for January.
