Not one single retail game has been made which is remotely similar to CS. A revolution would mean that CS inspired legions of me-too games and changed the way we think about gaming... this is not the case. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> revolutionized the cheating aspect. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> Revolutionized everyone claiming that everyone else is cheating, you mean.

As far as the bike goes, I'm nowhere near the anime fan that Inf and others are yet even I can tell the bike and the story are lifted from Akira. See my earlier post as to my thoughts on whether this is good or bad.

Everything having to do with the back wheel is different. The wheel itself, the metal over the wheel is completely different. The peice connecting the wheel to the body of teh bike is thinner and mounted on a completely different place in the model. The fronts of the two bikes are almost identical, I will give you that, but sitting down in the model would put you in a poistion slightly higher off teh ground and more upright. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> If you keep insisting it's not Kaneda's bike, I will have to do a side by side comparison of EVERY part of the bike.
Trust me. I have a giant framed poster in my room of this bike. It is almost EXACTELY the same. The 5% difference is the colour scheme, the removal of stickers and the air vent they stuck on the front.
But I don't want to argue, my original point is they ripped off Akira and didn't even give proper CREDIT. I really have the urge to find out who's currently holding the North American Akira license, emailing their PR department and letting them have a go at this mod.
