Solid Arcade Car Combat

This is one of the best Arcade style car combat games out there. Unlike Twisted Metal Black or RoadKill, it has a seriously fun feel thanks to clear, sharp graphics, pretty intuitive control setup and great sense of speed. It doesn't have the dark ambiance or gratuitous gore of the others. So many driving games out there make you feel like you're going 2 mph, this one is lightening fast when you have full boost.

Arcade style driving is not real-world simulation. The vehicles should be fast and should be able to jump, practically fly and crash and remain virtually unscathed. This the game does really well, creating environments where you have to jump up to second levels to get the better weapons or health.

The game allows you to simply play, choosing whatever unlocked arenas are available, as one of the many fantastical characters and vehicles. It's supposed to be in the future and this is all reflected in the characters and style of arena, where an audience watches and applauds your demolitions.

OR you can start a "career" with a particular character, going thru a series of combats. The first combat style is a "last man standing" with no respawns. The second is a series of one on one's, with respawns allowed. The third is a combination of the previous two. When your character finishes their career a new arena is unlocked.

The weapons are very fun. You always have a machine gun, but can pick up more powerful weapons such as a gauss canon, heat-seeking missles, mines, and a mini-nuke. The strategy is simple - learn the environment, which is nicely interactive - much of it is designed to be blown away to reveal jumps and weapons or health.

The game has a two-player mode that allows you to try and kill and each other. It's great to play against a human instead of an AI all the time! But the AI's are still there ready to blow you up or be blown away themselves.

You may eventually get tired of this game, but if you like vehicular combat at all, I guarantee at least one night of total addiction! It's a good game for keeping around "just for fun" or large parties with friends who don't play a lot of games beyond Dave and Buster types. The left analog control takes getting used to, as it is both turn left/right AND reverse, so I found myself accidentally reversing at first, but this passed quickly. I especially like the clarity of the graphics - like neon lights.

Ignore the TMB hype for a bit and check it out

PROS:
- many levels, all with hidden secrets
- unique style for a car combat game
- tons of different weapons
- cars have 3 specials instead of the usual one
- nice pretty graphics, almost the SSX of car combat
- not as morbid as TMB
- play it around Christmas for a neat surprise

CONS:
- loose control
- only 1 hidden character
- was in development for quite awhile, so should've been more polished
- "arena" style of levels makes you feel like you're in the Truman Show rather than a real fight to the death
- couldnt've been released at a worse time

Overall: not quite as good as TMB, but certainly more original
