Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 4 out of 10
Gameplay: 2.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6.5 out of 10
Overall: 3 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics were pretty dull. The color scheme and graphical
quality were really low which really turned me off about this game. Also,
the playing field was very plain looking and the vehicles you pilot all look
a little too messy.
Sound: The music was a step above everything else in the game since it
at least fit the mood of the game well. However, it still wasn't anything
great and it isn't for everyone.
Gameplay: A very basic space racing game. You pilot a small vehicle on
a road in this isometric view game. Anyway, besides moving around,
you can also do two other things. One is to jump (which you'll need to
get over computer players who hog the road) and the other is to shoot
enemies out of the way. I really didn't like this game at all. The gameplay
was just really boring and it just seemed like one level was a copy of the
one before. Also, they could not have picked a worse control scheme. You
have to press the vehicle in the direction you want to go, which is unusual
for this type of racing game (you may have to play this game to know
what I mean).
Hardness factor: I really couldn't get past the bad controls of this game.
It made things 10 times harder than it should have been and generally
ruined the game. Not that the rest of it was any good.
Overall: 3 out of 10. This game was just horrible. There wasn't one
aspect of it I enjoyed and I'm really sorry for all of you who have
actually played this game.
