Been playing if at my friend's for half an hour or so.
I am one of the few wreckless supporter, but i have to say i am not too impressed with double steal 2.
While it does look good, i'll argue it's not better than the first; it obviously uses the same engine, with a few tweak here and there: there's a few more special effects here and there, but geometry wise it looks less detailed; Wreckless' hong kong was more interesting, and buildings had more carved 3d details in them, more polys or either polys used in more effective positions.
I also don't like the way physics work here: you can crash into buses and trucks, they'll fly in the air like there's no gravity as soon as you touch them and you'd just slightly slow down.
And trust me, will you be DISAPPOINTED when you see the water.
Of course you all remember wreckless' water.
Well, it's just a flat, dull texture now. Seriously. gone have all reflections and all those gorgeous glows where waves reflected the sun..
Replays are still amazing, and it's incredible the kind of filters the game can apply on them in real time.
