You know you’ve got something slightly special on your hands when it keeps you up until two in the morning and then gets you up at half seven because you’re itching to get back to it.

Horribly compulsive, that’s what it is.

This morning I went through the tournaments I’d not yet done. Just on Casual difficulty. I was only really playing to unlock everything.

Since then I’ve been testing out different characters and doing the first two levels on Reckless difficulty. On the second level – I can’t remember the name, but it’s a steel mill sprint – I’m currently seventeenth in the world. Not bad, eh?

(Okay it’s probably because all the real players are playing on Insane or Real difficulty, but let me have my moment of glory, please.)

It’s funny how wrong my first impressions of the game were, looking back. I’m so very glad I gave the demo a second chance.
