5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Game Nobody Seems to Know About, March 6, 2005

This review is from: Shox- PS2 (Video Game)

Now this is a game that surprised me! I expected an arcade-type racer with decent graphics and fun, breezy gameplay. Shox is much more! It features licensed vehicles ( that actually show damage for a change ) in challenging rally-style races with aggressive a.i. opponents. The tracks are slippery and require finesse and lots of powersliding unlike other arcade racers such as Burnout 2 ( great game, by the way ) which take place on highway and city streets. The graphics are excellent and the slow-motion crashes and jumps never seem to get old. But the unique feature and namesake of this game is the "shockwave" that, when earned, shoots down the track like some sort of visual sonic boom that enables the player to hitch a ride so that he or she can seriously out-distance the competition. This game also features night racing ( once the daytime tracks are beaten ) and you can accumulate cash by repeating races until you've earned enough to buy a new ride. Overall, this is a great buy, highly recommended and a must for racing fans.
