Wow!! That really does raise the bar by several notches! It really does leave the past behind on many levels. This will probably open the doors for further development.

"Audio Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" would really kick! Just think if games got so advanced, vi people could even fly starfighters against a worth opponent!
