I wish their floaty handling were tighter, but when you land a big hit on a foe, it explodes them in a highly satisfying ball of fiery death. We get to take our pick from hot rods to monster trucks to my favorite, the DeLorean, aka the “Degoryun” – complete with openable gull-wing doors you can use to whack pedestrians in the head with. As you’d expect the accompanying speed-metal soundtrack is grating, and not in a good way, though it can mercifully be turned off in the options menu so you can enjoy the sound of crunching metal in peace.Ī much-needed strong point is the selection of cars, which is impressively diverse. Adding insult to injury, every event is preceded by a painful loading time that lasts a bit over one minute as well – which is baffling considering these graphics are decidedly last-gen, particularly on the indoor “Storage Vats” course. But one interesting mode does not a robust game make. The best of the challenges, though, is a race that lets you win by either hitting all of the checkpoints first, wiping out all rival racers first, or running over every pedestrian on the map first, because then you at least have a bit of choice and variety to help keep things interesting. Some are straight races, in which case plowing your spike-loaded vehicle through pedestrians has little payoff (which seems contrary to the theme of over-the-top vehicular homicide) others are sprints to random checkpoints another more appropriately bloodthirsty mode has everyone racing to kill the same marked pedestrian first.
Those events play out in progressively unlocked fashion in the career mode, which escorts you through various stages across different locales.
