I, however, already have countless simulations for the PC, I wanted to enjoy a time arcade racer for my PS3 ...
At first I was not really warm to the game, the offline mode seemed to me at the beginning too easy - but I have to say that I have chosen only the medium level of difficulty. But with more demanding race came on the voltage.
The basic principle and the control are learned very quickly and so the fun can then start really well after 3-4 races!
The full potential of the game unfolds but only if you enter the online sector. Even if at the beginning of the last lap runs at the rear of the field, you can collect this through clever use of powerups and change quickly - so the action is maintained until the finish line. One fightet at any place, at any PowerUp and must show a rapid response while dodging enemy bullets. I already see me, contrary to my expectations more than once sitting cramped front of the screen)
For Game in general:
The graphics are good, flourishes alongside the track need not to look, the game is limited to the essential: to the action on the track! Here you will find the term "candy graphics" adjusted his importance - many colorful bullets and explosions before and after a result a colorful whole. However, not covered - Activision has found the right Mixtour.
The control is learned quickly and easily: Who powers drive a simulation uses as rather to something else. However, the control is the right place for such a game: The simple control provides a fast racing river sure you rush between the barriers to rival wrecks around and tried quickly evade an enemy bullet: This is action!
The menu is also simple in design, you can find everything quickly and comes with all cope.
The soundscape on a 5.1 system is overwhelming: bassy explosions, distorting sounds sound like a supernova and cool engine noise roar the player fully. That's the way it has to be !!!
Hence my rating:
Graphics: 4/5
Menu: 4/5
Sound: 5/5
Control: 5/5 (for an arcade racer)
Fun: 5/5
Online 5/5
All in all, I forgive 5 points, since I myself am surprised at how much I was sitting already at this game! Therefore, a strong buy recommendation for anyone looking for a cool arcade racer!
