I think there were also additional goals in T2 in harder levels, like 
finding specific bits of "loot", or tracking down specific people. Like, 
in planting the evidence, you not only have to Frame cop #1, but also 
find out what cop #2 is up to.  (For people unfamiliar with the game - 
obviously I'm not addressing you particularly, Warp. :-)

I haven't bought this since there was no demo and the specs on the box 
made it sound like my machine wouldn't run it, but now I see a PC demo 
level out there, so I'll give it a try.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for the heads up! I'll check it out.
