(With slightly fewer exclamation points, the character animation is stunning -- Niko walks slightly bowlegged, but runs less so. And the credits beat most movies I've seen in the last 5 years.)
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You've managed to have a more crazed time than me. I've been taking it slowly, though I have managed to throw myself through my own windscreen after hitting a reinforced railing.
Ouch.
And now I have to go get Jilli and make the very important mental switch in driving...
Um, yeah.

"The Head Crusher likes visa cards." The man smiles. "He slathers peanut butter on them and eats them." He shakes his head. "Weird, but then, most everything is weird out here -- present company excepted, of course."

A very important mental switch. A 19 year old, Need for Speed II, and a Hyundai Excel don't mix folks. At least, not well.
