Has a few drawbacks compared to the original, but the best modern game ive played in years and years. Actually looking forward eagerly to playing it each time

It was phenomenal but I also had a phenomenal hangover so didn't even scratch the surface on what they had to offer. Highlights were all the weird Japanese music games, Hot Rod and all the other obscurities I'd never played before. It was hard get on any racing cabs and Crisis Zone the game I was most excited to play was pretty the only machine was down. Pinball tables weren't in great shape mind you. Definitely need to go back less hungover with a couple of buddies. Would make a good forum day out lads flights and accommodation are cheap as chips after all.

Playing the Switch non stop for the last while has made the Nomad screen feel like a absolute postage stamp Battery in it is still going strong. I actually dug the console out originally to make sure I still had the charger for it, it's been that long since I've actually used it!

It's a chunky monster of a console, but it is lovely to slot that Genesis/MD cart in the back and play, I still find playing Virtua Racing on it astonishing. edit: You should probably get a Turbo Express as well!

It was at the end of the night when we were just leaving, but the wow factor was great.

Starting with the Gamecube version a couple of times and then the same with the Wii version.It's one of those games that if you step away from for a while, it's hard to get back into - so you inadvertently end up starting from the beginning again. Definitely worth sticking out, it's by far one of the best FPS games ever made and still really holds up well to this day.
