Anyone play this yet?
I remeber a thread not too long ago asking about cycling games and the x-box TdF was brought up, but I don't think this one was...I guess it just came out in Europe a month or 2 ago. You get to play the role of a team manager so someone like Johan Bruyneel(sp?). I didn't exactly get it through proper channels, but i should be able to post a review up in a day or 2 i hope. 1300+ cyclists, 40+ teams and a bunch of other stuff you need to control such as finances, sponsorships, etc. 300+ races including the grand tours and classics tracing the 2k4-2k5 season. The bike frames look cheesy...but other than that, it seems like an interesting game if you're into this kind of stuff...
