If it is, how on Earth do you get past that bit? I really wanted to buy this game, but that bit in the demo makes me think I'd pay out to effectively keep playing the first five minutes until I die. Forever. There's another Vin Diesel game out too, "Wheelman", which is good fun. I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of his but the games are rather entertaining.

Forever.
