Post Apocalyptic Mayhem

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem

The future is boring. At least, it's annoying if you trust the post-apocalyptic vision Mayhem on it. In this vision, driving a car or a truck decorated with the arms, avoiding the pathetic attempts by his opponents to destroy the way the laws of physics as we know it does not always apply. This racing game very imperfect battle is short on emotions and even more on the content: the pilots AI opponents or online at one of three titles in one of six vehicles. "Racing" is not really an accurate description of what you do there, however. You may be circling around a field, but in the end game when the allotted time, and are rewarded for finishing ahead of the rest - just as many enemies to kill. WFP, as it is called, is easy and boring in every difficulty level, and $ 9.99 is an absolute scam.

At least it is attractive enough. You can not say a post-apocalyptic product incredible chaos, but its course seems to have been carved on one edge of the war. Concrete Jungle in skyscrapers supported in relief on a sky blood red. He had abandoned a concern (nuclear?) Cloud do for a strange sight on the beach of the Cold War. Wasteland is the most boring of them, winding through canyons and rocky dark with little to break the view. Unfortunately, these are the only three courses, while offering some of the alternative routes in the way of MotorStorm, which are not complicated enough to prevent it from becoming boring and predictable after a few races. Outside, there are only two ways. In Arcade mode you race against five competitors IA, apocalyptic Challenge mode, to do the same thing three times in a row, once on each track. So really there is only one kind of career in one of three tracks. Even for a discharge of the budget titles of laughter is worth it.

Perhaps the limited amount of content could have been mitigated by noisy explosions and shocks at high speed, but rather the "chaos" of post-apocalyptic chaos definitely missing. At the start of each race, you choose one of six vehicles of different sizes, the chair is known as the recreational vehicle called Meth Skorch Alchemist. Again, WFP MotorStorm inspiration seems to look at this, but none of these vehicles are naturally limited to one channel to another course. Of course, the recorder moves slower and feels heavier than the top of the Space Cowboy, but all these vehicles are capable of doing good air ramps and turn without any possibility of drift. Are straight in the air in an artificial manner, and can be carried to a few meters from the cliff if you miss the track after a jump. The physics are not realistic or unrealistic pleasure.

And if you're usually better off going with one of the great advantages, at least in the easy and medium difficulties. This is because you do not have to worry about the finish line, only your opponents to crash, so speed is not an asset. That make you fall to collect power-ups such as race and then release one of three different attacks. (A fourth type of power-up your meter full momentum.) It is an original fun here, if only because the activation of a barrage of missile and crashed two or three enemies at once is inherently pleasurable. One of the weapons of methamphetamine releases Alchemist blow flamingos, which is a stupid button that could put a smile on his face soon. The same occurs with the onset of the Childhood Dreams "in front, where the driver stands in front of you with the shovel on the bus and take him back.

But the apocalyptic chaos sweeps away at once smiling, when you realize that every "race" has the same awkward, stilted rhythm: you pull ahead of the others, has unleashed an attack on the back of the challengers to get closer, and then slows or stops until are not captured. Then do it again until you win a lot more kills than any other driver. It 'difficult for the difficulty, the AI ​​drivers on more often, to give you the opportunity to use the frontal attack more often. But in general, you can use the same strategy over and over again without feeling the pressure of a computer-controlled enemies. Because you're never really "racing" the only reason to rush ahead to bomb laggers behind, so do not expect something quick and fun. And because so much happens behind the destruction, you do not see a lot of explosive action, either. Picture-in-picture window, you can see what is going on behind when you behind the attack, but does not replace the entire screen, metal-melting bursts.

You might think that other online racing to solve these problems, but in fact, the multiplayer racing is even more precious to compete against the CPU. When the AI ​​rushes to the tips of ice that gets behind you, the human players are better. Therefore, competitors just stop until the peaks disappear before moving on - and are almost forced to stop too much to catch up. If you are on a slower vehicle, it is not uncommon for competitors to gain power-ups before even the first leg of the race by two seconds, giving you no chance to retaliate. It is difficult but not impossible to find online games and move up the ranking, but not worth looking too enthusiastically, the competition is even more difficult for offline multiplayer races. If the game was called post-apocalyptic monotony, WFP could be rented for a minimum of truth in advertising. But the apocalyptic message Mayhem, so you might have expected a little mess.

Instead, you get a huge yawn, and you know the only sorry with the lost ten.
