Twisted Metal / Extreme-G except with hot rods. From the Project Gotham developers.
I like games that have different elements to it and THIS IS IT! I actually find myself driving like a maniac when I am done playing because I am all amped up.
Power ups, very challenging tasks, vibrant colors, big track selections that look amazing, a huge selection of cars (new and old), very fast paced...what more could you ask for!
There's a lot included in this game that will have you playing for quite some time. Plus its more than just racing. There are many objectives other than just racing cars. There are destruction tracks where you have to destroy other cars and checkpoint tracks where you have to race against the clock. Haven't tried the online play yet, but I'm planning to soon.
Some people complain that the graphics aren't that great. I think they look just fine. Guess people are a little too picky these days. Maybe they forget what Atari was like...??
I thing I did notice and should mention is that my driving speed was seemingly a little slow. I couldn't keep up for the life of me with the other cars I was racing. I initially switched my control settings so that the X button was used to accelerate, but just recently set it back to R2 to see if this would help and surprisingly IT MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! I'm blazing past cars and keeping up with ease now. Not sure why this would even be a problem. Tried it on 2 different controllers to make sure my controller wasn't the issue. It was very weird, but also something to look out for.
