I bet one day they gonna come up with this video game called "The Great Outdoors Game".

That looks awesome, I would surely buy it if I had a ps2!

I dunno man.

Look at the HUD. It indicates that the player is going 47 kph... but he does not look like to be in sprinting position at all.

What would be cool is if you could hook it up to a trainer or exercise bike, and play it that way in winter to keep in shape...

47 kph? 29 mph? Nah, a real Tour rider can do that easy. Heck! I can do that! Looks pretty cool to me. If I had the system, I would definitely have to have that game. :D

Yeah I guess they sprint at 60 kph+, but I was under the impression that when you hit speeds like that you better be in aero position. The player looks like me when I'm coasting at 30 kph.

Has this game already been released in the US?

BTW, the pros sprint at speeds higher than 60+kph. They go at around 75-80 kph.

Yeah, the game looks really cool, wonder what is the gameplay like? I'd buy it too if I have PS2, sadly I don't. What that's alright, we just have to hope to comes out on the PS as well or on the PC.
