I first heard of it from a friend. I think it was the last version of S1 before S2 came along. I hated the physics at first, so slippy, and I could never get the XRT until I found a credits cheat file about a month later. I then began just messing with Tweak, and letting the AI entertain me, big wheels, dragsters, everything that could be done I did. Never seriously went online either.
Then I found out about S2. WOAH. Amazing compared to S1. So here I am now, from the first version of S2 to now, always played it and never want to stop :thumpsup:
