I think the engine is the same, despite the advert to the contrary. Explosions are the same in every detail. Gee, even the sounds are identical.

I kinda like the auto-enlarging main gauges. I think you should have all gauges in the game like that (CO2, Fuel, Battery). I personally like to play it with the external cam on, so the more gauges you have readily available, the better.

Overal I'm not as dissapointed as you, but I fail to see the 'huge improvement' (or even "imworsement" - I actually like this one). I think SH4 is just an expansion pack.

I would agree that the interface is kind of more complex than it should be and that the battery, fuel, etc. gauges are missing. But I like what they did with the map and the map tools. Great design.

@CrocodileDundee

I'm guessing you live in Dundee, do you have a copy of SH4 already? I'm interested to see the new bow wave effect too.

Dundee it is.

My girl works at Game. I'll say no more. (I usually agree with her that it is a lame job, but she's in her final year at Uni, so it is better than shoveling chips @ Burger King I guess).
