Been playing Midnight Club: LA for a couple of weeks now and one thing the game falls down on is the font. Its unreadable from anything from 4 ft away.

I use a Matsui 28inch CRT Widescreen television (probably the major fault here) and the Xbox System is set to play PAL 60Hz via the RGB lead. Other games like COD4, Forza 2, Tomb Raider are all fine to read at distances of 1metre or more, but with Midnight CLub im sat like a 4 year old watching The Flintstones.

Anyone else finding the font is below par or is there a way of remedying this unreadable font (replacing TV with HD ready LCD aside).

Good man.

Regarding the game, I find it either hysterically funny in the "how am I not dead yet", or very very frustrating.

A laugh for 17 quid.

I tried playing my 360 through our 45" rear projection Tv. within 2 minutes I had to stop - Can't see how people can play it through CRT, I couldn't see anything! Just don't know what you're missing out on with HD yes
