Absolute Kolbenfresser

Granted, I would actually have to be there was warned for a low price and on the other the developers "System 3", which I already knew two other racing games and had significant shortcomings, in my view. And so, unfortunately, is also Absolute Supercars probably be described as "Absolute Snake Eater" and that for several reasons.

Not only in direct comparison to current titles for the PS3, the graphics can be described here in the truest sense of the word as "frumpy", neither the vehicles nor the environment are worth seeing, not to mention the downright puritanical acting menus and Co. all , A feast for the eyes, this title is definitely not, the same goes for the sound design, which provides rather lower average. What comes out of the speakers sounds neither tired nor realistic that is significantly better.

In terms of gameplay, the title will not agree on whether he wants to be an arcade racer like Need for Speed ​​or a simulation as Gran Torismo because the drivability of the vehicle is "borderline", the physics is acting modestly. No matter how you do is push the race to achieve victory is more a matter of luck than skill, and I say this as someone who plays racing games across not just since yesterday by the proverbial bank.

That would almost have to get over everything, because the gameplay harassment, which probably unfortunately are mandatory for titles by this developer would not be back: The behavior of the opponents (AI) is far from realistic virtual colleagues go as if on rails, like also in the pack, take curves at a speed which is impossible for the player, pull yourself with identical cars on a loose pass and will not be punished for bump and accidents for which the player has to accept a punishment itself immediately. Not infrequently you concede as a player even a punishment, because you were jostled by one of AI opponents and pushed off the track. Which brings us to the next point would be equal no matter what you allow yourself, if only that one short coming off at the wrong place on the slopes, already one is punished as a player in the mold, as the vehicle for a few seconds only as driving with the handbrake on. In the time then pull loose 3-4 opponents at a past and their taillights seen despite impeccable driving style as a result often do not catch up to end of the race again in this game is an impossibility. Thus, not only the behavior of the AI ​​very unfair, but also the system with which the player is reprimanded here really often for little things that you would let it go, even in the today very regelüberfrachteten Formula 1. Thus every race is virtually done after a few bends, the frustration is large, the motivation is fast in the basement.

Such a fun-killers like this gameplay is honestly not come across to me and I play Racing Games since my Amiga 500 (yes that was 25 years ago, but before now someone thinks it would be on my "advanced" Gamer Age in Drive Club and Forza Horizon 2 I drive my opponents regularly into the ground).

Where are the loading times of this title also remember my Amiga and the extent by today's standards strikes me as only the word "shameful" a just in ancient times. Long story short, this is probably the worst racing game I've ever played on my PS3, I can only each to recommend itself for another song to look, even in the low price segment are there so many titles of a lot more fun promises and also better looks.
