just a word of warning...killzone is getting shitty reviews for the most part....the graphics are supposedly VERY choppy and inconsistant...and the targeting is bad and the AI is bad...thats what ive been reading...im steering clear of that one but Ace Combat 5 for sure should be awesome.

Killzone looks like crap. The graphics suck... and the gameplay sounds weak.

I will stay away from Killzone as its just another me-too in a crowded sci-fi FPS market.


Ace Combat looks cool. But its single player. meh


Get an xbox. It barely any more expensive then the HDD for ps2

why play killzone when Halo 2 is coming out at the same time. its a no brainer for Halo.


but yeah. Ace Combat looks like alot o fun. But i doubt it can keep me entertained for long with single player only

Because if you don't have a Xbox, it is a $200 investment to play Halo 2...

i remember reading an article about this way back when GTA-3 first came out, it was even worse back then, its still bad, as you describe, but its gotten better...the reason has something to do with the amount of vehicles that can be simultaneously "streamed" from the disc in terms of the 3-D model, the animations, the sounds, the driving characteristics, etc and to maximize the number of cars on screen, the program on the disc has to stick to a certain "class" of cars, just like you said, if you are in a shitbox youll see tons of the same shitbox and other shitboxes, swith to a sports car, they start popping up....

the worst ive seen is out in the middle of nowhere in the badlands or whatever when EVERY friggin vehicle is either a farm tractor or that slow ass beat up pic up....now thats annoying when you have a long drive back to los santos or san fierro ahead of you!!

Patriot - One in the Naval Base compound in San Fierro - may take a couple tries before you can make it to your garage though...

Export 20 vehicles and then you can import the Turismo.

Yeah, it fuckin sucks in MT... :'( But I do work but only three days a week right now. I dont go out drinking much and I like games - does that make me a nerd - But really Ive put prob a few hours a day into the game everyday since Ive bought it (release day) and a little more on the weekends. The weather has been shitty and Id prefer to stay inside right now. Ive beaten the game but only like 80% completion - Im not going for 100% I dont think since my copy of Halo 2 just showed up from the UPS man.

Its in Easter Basin in San Fierro... Due east from your garage and north of the Airport. You will find it because once you enter (or fly over) you will immediately get 5 stars.

It's next to the crane, in the building next to the export list by the pool. It activates a checkpoint minigame, but you can just fail it and have yourself the fastest bike in the game.

Good job Eric, welcome to two weeks ago

They are also in the parking lot in front of the rc store in the corner. BTW, I just won some cool cash playing pool in the bar in San Fierro. What a great game.

I'm in the last Badlands mission. I for the life of me cannot fire up all the weed and then shoot down the copter. I've tried like 10 times, and now i'm pissed. Theres always one little fucking bush that wont go out, and then the copter is flying around, i cant hit it, and theres only like 7 seconds left. what the fuck!

Use R2 to strafe with the flamethrower......you'll lock the flame in a direction, so just walk sideways down the row......once the bush lights on fire, it WILL BURN, so don't waste time watching it burn.
