First of all, it's clear this is made by Bizarre. very PGR-esque feel, from cars and driving to menus. Good chaotic fun so far. 20 player races are a trip. Not sure if I'd pay $60 for it so far. I'd be in at $40, likely.
What do you guys think so far?
The combat and powerup system is fairly fun, and the levelling looks like they copied another Activision game in Modern Warfare - lots of unlocks and mods and boosts to be earned. There's a demolition derby mode that's kind of fun, but would likely get old pretty fast.
It feels a bit like a highly polished "serious" (in quotes because it's clearly not) version of Mario Kart combined with PGR3. It's a bit like Full Auto with higher tech weapons . Similar in theory. Maybe a little dash of pre-Paradise Burnout, but you can't ram the guys off the road quite so well.
Strikes me as something that would make an awesome XBLA game, but stretched and highly polished to be a full retail release.
Having said that I maxed out the levels and I kind of wanted to keep going and see the full unlock system.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
