I haven't been following the game much, last I checked was around the time the original publisher dropped it along with that Jack Black game, it looked pretty good when I last saw it. Next year is a pretty long wait, on the other hand, I'm looking forward to games like Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3, DiRT 2 and keeping my eye on NFS: Shift, and probably other games announced at E3 or ones I haven't paid attention to, so it might be a good thing it's not out til next year
Looks like a pretty good game though.
