Not really shocked that something released by EA had something to advertise their new games in it. Even if they had nothing to do with the development.

Well, EA does own Digital Illusions now, so technically they did develop it. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that they simply couldn't think of anything better to write on it either.

Theres loads os stuff like that in AF (and i havent even played it)

Billboards with 2142 all over them etc

DICE insert plenty of stuff like this in their games.

ob1 · 14 Jun 2006 at 17:11

You can drive a sports car in it?

The Pat · 14 Jun 2006 at 17:20

Well I hope you all look forward to EA Trax in the next one.

Hmm the songs they put in are pretty varied and *shock* can be turned off.

As someone said I don't like the kind of music. Most of it doesn't seem to fit with the game imo. I hate the DJ even though you can turn him off. Also the box which flashes up when it changes track always seems to get in my way.

oh yeah, in the passenger seat of one of the new vehicles there is a newspaper, with the headline 'scientists warn ice age is near'

There's a few big rigs around too - great for T-boning those little muscle cars

The Mad One · 15 Jun 2006 at 17:02

I wouldnt be surprised if ea are the first to take on proper product advertising in games, coke cola in sims 3 anyone? how about a kenwood toaster?
