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

I bought this game because the price was right. I almost enjoy it as much if not more than twisted metal black.

Awesome

This game makes other games look horrible by comparison. Even though the story line is... well there isn't any (Ok, actually there is, your a mutant cast out from society and you find refuge in this amazingly dangerous competition), but who cares about the story line? The gameplay on this is awesome! You can choose a motor cycle, limo, steam roller, and other vehicals to blow competition away! I don't care what the reviewers say, everything in this game is completely destructable, from the arena's scoreboard (talk about scary, imagine the scoreboard of your local sports arena times ten, falling down to break the arena floor while the whole stadium is hovering hundreds of feet in the air) to the ruins' pillars supporting the roof. Along with the destructable arena, there are also destructable cars! Once you get a cars hp down a little, chunks of the vehical start falling off everytime you get hit. There are a range of powerups, from homing missles to chain guns to pulse lasers to this wierd type of gun that fires a wall of bullets at the enemy. Also, each character has their own special attacks, like a light saber kind of thing that shoots out red balls of anti-matter energy and a lizard guys tail that shoots acid out of the tip. There are three modes: Death Match-get a certain number of kills, Elimination-be the last one standing, and Endurance-One on one fights in a succesion so you dont get any breaks. At the end of each tornament, you must face the legendary Buzzsaw. Defeat him, and get the tornament title. The elimination has a small plot going through it in the form of newspaper headlines. Trust me, rent it, then buy it.

Need for speed!

I bought this game for my friend and of course I was over at his house playing with it.I gave it a 5 star review for it's high speed car action.You can choose from awesome motorcycles to teeth chomping bulldozers.There are awesome weapons custom turbo boosters.This is a game you should go ahead and get.

(If you easily get car sick do not get this game)
