Trivia
In early September, Electronic Arts promoted the game in the UK by commandeering a gas station to give away £20,000 worth of gas. Drivers rode off with £40 ($70) per person in their tanks, but London traffic in the area was brought to a standstill. After a few hours, police asked EA representatives to disband the stunt. Member of Parliament Lynne Featherstone of constituency Hornsey and Wood Green called on EA to apologize. A similar event was staged in Los Angeles (USA), but with no apparent problems.
