They put up a demo of this game on XBox Live, so I went and downloaded it. I'm very much impressed. It's a lot better than videos do justice.
At first I thought "what am I just driving around?" but to play it, I found that it's no driving game. It's still a wacky platformer, you just end up moving in a car instead of with a character. In fact you can still use your character if you want, but the point is there's still all sorts of jiggy hunting and the speed just means all the more wackiness. There's these suctiony guys who drag your car all over the dang place, and you can construct it by all sorts of means, and the physics system makes the cars behave in all sorts of weird ways.
Grunty's back, and she's a mechanic now, but so is everyone it seems. The demo has really impressed me!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
