(More customer reviews)You know how in some racing games you get so fed up with the other cars on the track that you just wanna ram into them and knock them out of the race, well that is the concept behind this racing game with thrills, spills, explosions and fun. At first play I thought it was a little slow, but as you progress and win money, you can upgrade your car, and buy new ones. Ranging from little speedy sport cars, to vintage cruisers, up to heavy machinery, the fun just doesn't stop in side swiped.
The game play is great, the response is wonderful, and the amount of missions is huge. Races can be anything from 1 on 1 racing to 8 cars, but it's not just about getting to the finish line (well, there is those missions) but sometimes it's a matter of taking out all the other cars, crashing into cars to send them flying so they explode and take out other cars and obstacles; destroy a specific car; play pass the bomb and so much more. And it's not just track racing either, there is also demolition derby's and a cool little game where you have to jump from trampoline to trampoline collecting balloons, and although you may think WTF? reading that, I assure you this is not a Mario style kids game. It's just a cool little mini game to mix things up after destroying other cars and objects for so long.
Different cars/automobiles have different abilities, your sporty little cars are very fast and are great for a coarse that is a race to the finish, but they are very light, so they do not smash into other cars too well to take them out, that's where your bigger heavier trucks are needed to cause havoc on the track and destroy whatever gets in there way, but they are not as fast... however, it doesn't mean they are slow either, as this is full on action that is fair, and fun. There is even at least one hidden vehicle that i know of you can unlock by completing all the missions criteria, which also opens up a few new tracks, I think they are there to test your new vehicle out, and also unlocks a mini game you will have to find out for yourself what it is.
This is my biggest recommendation to anyone looking for a racing game on the DS. It $#!%S all over games like Need For Speed, Asphalt Urban GT, Ridge Racer etc.. this is the game to have for all action racing games.
