Somewhere behind all those menu options and spredsheets there is actually a racing game, who would have thought?

Breakneck has to be the funniest racing game ever made -if you don't mind that the joke is on you. What might have sounded good on a piece of paper in a project room became an absolutely horrible gaming experience. There are plenty of cars to choose from, ranging from speed demons to monster trucks and buses, some of them even come armed to the teeth, yet this doesn't matter when each and every one of them has the same horrible handling. Apart from the arcade-ish racing there is a career mode too, with so many details that the menu system is more complex than your average 3D rendering software.

Gigantic menus roll in from both sides of the screen, and all buttons are animated and completely confusing. Then there's EDDI; probably the most annoying person ever to crop up in a computer game. As your frustration level is slowly building up while trying to navigate the menus, "your helpful friend" animated EDDI will pop up and make fun of you by saying something condescending and stupid, which is probably supposed to make you forget just how much you hate this game and direct your hatred towards him instead. If you really have to play this game, invite a friend and play a race in weapons mode, it's the most fun you can hope to catch from this mediocre release.
