| The first time I ever heard Metallica was the pre-rendered intro cutscene. I thought the song -- "Fuel" -- was the coolest thing I'd ever heard. Then my childhood best friend's religious mom told us they worship Satan :^)
Graphics: 7 Nothing to write home about. Not going for realism as we're dealing with toy cars. Nice variety of environments across the spectrum of levels keeps it interesting. Sound: 7 Repetitive sound effects. The music is actually pretty decent, though... some name recognition with artists such as Meat Beat Manifesto, Link Wray, Reverend Horton Heat, Mixmaster Mike, Primus. Gameplay: 5 For the most part the controls are reasonable, but some of the temporary modifiers/items behave weirdly and you often have to use the "Default" button to reset your vehicle. Makes you wonder why they added that as a button. Overall: 7 Decently entertaining nonrealistic racing game with shortcuts and hidden cars to explore. Gameplay suffers from quirks. Stay away from Satan... or don't ;) |
