It's damn cool... I feel like I'm at home zipping around NYC. There are
so many damn shortcuts and extra details to discover... like jumping the
loading ramp onto the aircraft carrier Intrepid at South Street
Seaport. They have all sorts of extra eyecandy... brownstone buildings
like you'd expect on the east side of central park... Chinatown is where
it should be. I'd say it's my favorite PS2 game so far (out of SSX, which
I think is retarded, Eternal ring... the 1'st person RPG is an intersting
concept, but a poor implementation, and Smuggler's Run, which is fun,
especially in 2P mode, but a bit spartan graphics-wise compared to MC.)
