It just took the time for a game developer and publisher to take that risk (coincidentally, looking at the recent news feed) of spending lots of time and money on a 3D game that will play in 2D. I am glad it’s only 2D.

I'm still getting used to only sticking wheels on one side of my vehicles - and not being able to paint the entire surface satisfactorily with certain things. JP's right though - thank grud you're only dealing with a 2D side on view (with 3D elements) most of the time. I'd hate to have to factor in a 3rd dimension properly for level design, it'd take aeons! Mind you, that said - with an interface a little like Trackmania's, it could well be done.

Even with the excellent tools provided. I suspect people will be glad it’s only 2D when they realise how much work goes into making a decent level. Even with the excellent tools provided.
