4.0 out of 5 stars A Total Surprise, October 17, 2003

Wireless in Union City "Christian" (Union City, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

I first rented this title to see how I would like it. After about five hours, I returned the game to my videostore, marched to EB and bought my own copy. The pitch is that it's a mix of Grand Theft Auto and Twisted Metal and it delivers a perfect mix of the two while integrating enough of its own unique flavor to keep things interesting.

I have to say, I was completely blown away by how deep and well executed this game is. The graphics are outstanding (especially the explosions), the car control is perfect for the type of game it is. The missions are well designed and lots of fun. The cut scenes are hilarious.

I think I'm about two thirds through the single player mission sequences with about 15 hours played so far. That said, there's tons of things for me to still find in the environments outside of the actual missions.

I spent six hours straight playing the multiplayer modes with friends the other night and this has IMMEDIATELY become our favorite multiplayer game. We haven't had this much fun with multiplayer games since Goldeneye back on the N64.

About the only caveat I have is that this is a SUPER mature title. The profanity and gore is off the charts. It is definitely not a title for the kiddies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kick A$$ Game, April 30, 2004

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

I bought this today and I was expecting just average but good game. Well I have played it for like an hour now and I can't turn my Gamecube off. This game combines Manhunt,Twisted Metal and Grand Theft Auto all into one and makes it better. I should never have doubted this game because damn is it ever good. I can say one thing though do not I repeat do not let any kids play this because their is, nudity,swears,blood,gore,brutality, and death in almost every cutscene. The game is easy,fun,challenging at times and simple to put it everything plays nice. I reccomend this to anyone over 18 below that don't even think about it because it's that bad. The frame rate runs at 60 FRPS the controls are easy then anything the map in confusing at first but nothing too hard, ahhhhh just play it thats all I can say I could go on forever.

Graphics/ 4.5/5
Sound/ 5/5
Controls/ 4.5/5
Gameplay/ 5/5

This game which I thought would be ok not spetacular turned out to be near perfect. Best car game I have ever played, and I have seen them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game, January 6, 2004

This review is from: RoadKill (Video Game)

I must admit it was below my expectations, but it was also the first car combat game I've purchased for the cube...

But, after playing it for 5 hours so far and having completed the first city (there's a total of 3), I can say it's worth it. It all boils down to searching for hidden pieces of weapons and car blueprints, and also completing missions, that ultimately brings this game to life, much alike GTA3.

You may have to disable the rumble feature at times because when enemies chase you, they chase you, which at times cannot be avoided.. and the machinegun fire on your tail virtually turns your controller into a vibrator..

And, as the above reviewer said, lots and lots of gore and profanity.
