Played this last night for a few races, won my very first race out of the block, then got lots of 2nd and 3rds before one race were I came 8th out of 9. I cant honestly see myself buying the final game. It has good bits but the whole power ups thing is very hit and hope, Turbo, Shield and Repair are simple, the 3 bolts thing is fine too, Shock is interesting, but what exactly does that bloody Orange thing do? Is it a mine?
It is just chaos though if you get stuck in the pack, you really gotta make a play for the lead early on, otherwise you'll end up getting mashed and bounced round the place, and I find that's the difference between this and Mario Kart / Wipeout. In those, you can be bombed out of the race in the 2nd lap, but still be in the mix coming to the end of lap 3, there is no Super Power up that will affect the track or take out many vehicles. I will give it another go, currently at Rank 4, but unless this launches and can be picked up cheap, (and it wont be as it's Activision) I will be waiting for the price drop, sub £20 pick up, or second hand copy.
