Gas, Break, Honk; Gas, Break, Honk; Gas, Gas, Gas; Honk, Honk, Honk.
Yes it's another driving game and this one has the ambition to be the PS2
equivalent to
Carmageddon.
The basic idea here is to race around each of the different landscapes such as
Forest, Snow and Desert, picking up contraband and delivering it at the
required destination, although this amounts to little more than driving
over a green block first and then through red flares posing as checkpoints
second.
At this point I'll mention the usual that there are several cars you can drive
and a number of teams, or gangs in this case, up against each other.
There are several ways to play the game :
Smuggler's Mission: You're required to do as described above,
starting with easy missions but they soon progress to become more difficult,
especially with the rozzers on your tail and it's easy to attract their
attention.
Joyridin': A practice round in which you can drive anywhere and
everywhere.
Turf War:
There are three sub-options here :
Crooks 'N' Smugglers: It's every man for himself when you're each
racing for the contraband, stealing it from each other and making for the
checkpoint. This leads to apparently seeing several changes of objective per
level. One second you're after contraband, then it changes to "opponent pickup"
so you go chasing after another car, then it changes to another car if they
steal it from the one who has it, etc.
The one to grab the most in the time limit, or the maximum
pick-ups allowed, is the winner.
Loot Grab: similar to the above, but with two teams going after several
pieces of loot. Again, the team to grab the most is the winner.
Checkpoint Race: does exactly what it says on the tin.
The cars move fast enough, but the graphics are fairly sparse and certainly
do nothing to promote the PS2 and all that it's meant to stand for.
Occasionally when you crash into another car there's plenty of clipping as the
cars "merge" (!)
Sometimes the real-world physics leave a bit to be desired when your car rolls
over and unrealistically rights itself. On the other hand, it's fun to drive
into people, run them over and watch their bodies fly into the air.
The vibration feature isn't used a great deal though. It's mainly for crashing
into other cars and hardly ever when driving about over terrain unless you
thrash about too much.
The sound? The engine revs, the horn honks and police car sirens go
"Woo-woo-woo-woo!", etc. Big woo!
Overall, if you're going to get this, make it a rental at first. It'll provide
an evening's entertainment but that's about it in my eyes and if you pay
forty notes for it, you will be disappointed.
