I've wanted a 1080i or 720p game since the launch of the Xbox but this game is not what I was waiting for. But could they have picked an uglier game to put out in HD? I don't really want an HD slideshow of pretty backgrounds with bad cell animations ontop of it. I can already do that.

Well I for one will be looking forward to making a friend with a HDTV so I can get another buddy to rent this one so I can check it out. This might actually shape up to be a fun title, then again it might blow like my ass wind. Either way I will check it out. So that means you need the high def. action pack for the xbox to view it on a hdtv right?

I understand that Fever 2003 is in Widescreen and HDTV...atleast, according to the back of the game case. I don't own it, but, does anyone have Fever 2003 and an HDTV? What is the level of resolution that it is capable of?

As for Dragon's Lair...I couldn't agree more with Lynxfx... I've never been a fan of the game or series. I may rent it to see what my HDTV can do in regards to video games, though :)

I'll probably do the same Max, rent it just to see it at least once.

I noticed Fever showed HDTV on the back as well but I have a feeling it is the same as Burnout. Anyone try it out yet?
