I've played a few hours of TMB since I got it, and I have to say i'm kind of disappointed. I won't put up a fight over it though, I'm probably the only one on the planet who doesn't love this game to death right now. I'm a huge fan of TM1 and 2, and very familiar with the vehicular combat genre. The game has all the right things going for it, but I can't find any of the same magic from the previous games.
The cars all basically handle the same no matter what the size. There's no real weight to them, and they all stop and turn on a dime. I don't like any of the views, and using any of the big cars dwarfs all the others. Play as Darkside and try to make out any of the cars further than 10 feet from you. It's impossible! Tiny arrows aren't enough. The level design is kind of bland, it reminds me of Vigilante 8, except the only interaction with the environment is blowing it up. I'm not impressed with any of the weapons either, they're too gimmicky and tough to hit with.
These seem like nit-picks when viewed separately, but as a whole the game just isn't very fun
