Only one way to describe this game: Micro Machines on Acid
Yes you heard me right, Micro Machines on Acid. Those classic little cars with hammers and pincers. Give those dinky lil' cars a bit of acid and they turn into huge gas guzzling machines with a variety of destructive weapons from machine guns to cannons to replace those hammers and pincers.
From the moment I started playing this game, I knew I was gonna be hooked. What could be more fun ravaging other cars with your car thats armed to the clutch pedal. The game play is real good, if not a little repetitive, but it does shake things up a bit by only letting you pick certain cars and certain weapons. One thing I love about the game is the Unwreck feature, allowing you to correct your last mistake, be it missing a ramp and hitting a wall, running over a mine or killing a team mate in the Gang Wars mission. The graphics of the game are superb, with the near fully destructible landscape and the effects of bullets / missiles / rockets on cars. Another thing I noticed is the reflections on the cars bonnet, you can see the right reflections as you pass certain landmarks.
As much as this game is very addictive and so much fun to play, it does have its down-sides. The first thing is the frame rate, this may just be the PAL version but the killcam really does slow down the game and become very joggy. Secondly, it is very short. I've nearly completed the game (only got one more race left) and I only been playing it around 6 hours.
All in all, this game is a good game. I suggest going out and buying it, I just don't believe it's worth the whopping price tag of next-gen games.
