I guess I'm still in the minority of people who like ETW. It was ROUGH at release, but by 1.3 most of the huge problems were gone. With the patches (and Luntik's AI mod) I think it's quite nice. Hopefully 1.6 removes the need for the AI mod.
But NTW does show how stripped down ETW was in terms of the little things. It was suspected before, but NTW confirmed that ETW was rushed. It seems obvious to me that SEGA was really hounding them to release something, so they shoved ETW out. The patches and the the beauty of NTW (I think it might be my favorite TW) make up for that mostly in my eyes, and the discount price of NTW doesn't hurt either.I can live with ETW's faults since I think it gave them the space they needed to really dote on NTW.
