That Split Second for superfluous details like a speedometer or a route map waived reinforces this impression again. Actually one has no time to deal with such trifles. Constantly flying a something around the ears or the route changes due to the massive destruction orgies; ) The special effects are really great, a James Bond in his Aston Martin, etc. would make in the face of destructive probably in his pants ...; )
The mostly sunny-bright design emphasizes the story, it is in fact a participant rather wacky TV show. So the game into episodes, each consisting of four races and have to be unlocked divided. Also new car, which, though fictional, but look very cool, can be unlocked.
The AI of the opponents is quite sophisticated, so it is hardly possible for you to drive away and you are virtually forced to. By means of explosions and other nasties from the track to bombs To trigger these effects, you have to drift and the pod judge, therefore slip down around the curves and hang in the lee of the opponents.
The demolitions increase to be triggered by smaller exploding cars to entire, crashing aircraft or collapsing buildings. At first glance the gameplay because of the many explosions and route changes is very confusing, but skillful "control systems" along the course, as we know from the Need4Speed-series, have a way.
The camera is designed very dynamic and trembles eg explosions, is splashed with mud or falls into a slow motion mode if you have turned particularly many opponents - which reinforces again the illusion of a reality show!
In short, you will feel all the time like in a really good action movie.
