Full Auto is here, and its good and all, but not as good as some of us may have hoped.

User Rating: 7.9 | Full Auto X360
Many people, including myself, have been waiting for this game since about the time of E3 2005. From the early screenshots, the graphics looked as though they would be a showcase of the 360. From videos, it looked as though it would have the speed of burnout and the destruction or Mercenaries. This looked to be a great combination. We were then introduced to an unwreck feature which made the game sound even better. Finally, the game is here, and its good. But , the game did not live up to it's potential. But first lets talk about the good things in the game. The best part of this game, is by far the destrucion. The destruction in this game is amazing. You can blow up gas stations and knock trains off the tracks. Also, you get a feeling of accomplishment, when you see the word RAMPAGE across the screen, which tells you that you've destroyed 8 opponents simultaneously. The crashes look great and they help you really get into the game. The next thing about Full Auto are the graphics. The graphics in the early screen shots, make the game look rediculously amazing. Now, the games graphics look good but not as good. The games graphics are showcased by the lighting, the cars look real. But the environments look only a little better than Burnout Revenge on the xbox. So, while the cars look good, the environments could have used some more polish. Now, there are a few problems in this game, but they are very noticeable. The biggest problem is the game, is the framerate. The framereate just simply cannot keep up the the game. The games graphics, speed, and destruction are going by too fast, and the framerate cant take it. Also, the destruction is not what was promised. I was told that you could level a building and it would fall on the cars behind you. Now, dont get me wrond, you can shoot building, and debris will fall, but there is no leveling (except for the gas stations of course). Also, the graphics are not what we saw back at E3 2005, but as said before, they still look great.

Now, as for reccomending this game for purchase, its kind of hard right now. This game is'nt really worth $60. I played the demo and thought it was ok so, I rented this game and I think its good but I think I'll wait till its cheaper before i buy it. I suggest you try it before you buy it, If you hated the demo, rent it or try your friends copy, but if you loved the demo, and play it twice a day, then you probably will find that it is worth a purchase, even at $60. This game had a lot of potential and I hope that sega will try again and make a sequel. I just hope that they will give it more polish and put more concentration on gameplay and graphics, rather than trying to emphasize their ideas.
