D2 shock, the D2 demo disc that is to be included with the March 11th release of Real Sound for the Dreamcast, will make use of the Dreamcast's built-in modem.
As has been reported before, the D2 Shock disc is Warp's way of thanking its fans for putting up with the game's vast delays - this game has been pushed back so far, that it was originally scheduled for the failed-M2 console! A few engine and game play concept changes later, D2 is finally shaping up for a Dreamcast release in the second half of this year.
The D2 sampler disc, D2 Shock, offers two modes of play: a boss fight against the game's first boss and a snow mobile romp (you'll also be able to view the game's introduction). The snow mobile lets you explore at your leisure or take on a time-trial type course. Each time you finish the time-trial, you'll be given your time and a password, you can then log-on to Warp's homepage and register your time on a ranking system that will be setup for the game.
