I realize that there are probably several comments about this already, but I didn't want mine to get lost in the threads.

"Special" edition? "Stripped DEMO" is closer to the truth. I had heard about the game so when I saw the "Special" edition at such a good price, I went for it.

After being disappointed, I did some research: apparently there are 24 levels in the full game, but only twelve in the "Special" edition. No multiplayer capability in the "Special" version either. No cut-scenes.

There's nothing special about the "special". Lackluster, perhaps. Feature-poor, maybe. If by "special" they meant limited gameplay, then it's not false advertising.

LOT of people got fooled by this "special" release. Don't be one of them. I was getting into the frenetic free-for-all action of the game. But because of this "Special" edition ruse perpetrated by the publishers, when someone asks me about the game, I tell them it sucked and that only "special" people might like it.

2.) This is not a Demo.

The only good reason that I've heard for getting the SE (other than "I'm a collector and have to have every version available") is when CHFlagg mentioned that she got it to put on her laptop.

That would be nice if it was.

But playing on a 17" wide screen laptop. (my hubby calls it the beast) I play the original on my desktop and the laptop is great for a quick game like this.

Uh man! Oh woman!:)
Im getting confused: Bigband, husband, hardtop, laptop.:D

So lets me come to an end:
The Special Edition is more then just a USB edition and soon aviable as a mobile (handy) game.:p

Petja,

Just look at my signature - "The Grumpy Old Lady" - that will help.
