![]() DR tries to combine both qualities into one neat package, but the results are less than impressive. It's much easier to develop a pure racing game, like Cruis'n USA, or one of mass destruction, like Twisted Metal. Some may consider the physics to be life-like, but to me, it's an artificial attempt to make DR a wild ride. I must say the physics of each car is above average, giving spot control, but if you brake a little too long into a turn, your car flips or performs some funky move, like landing on top of another vehicle. Only a few games have ever reached the "sensitivity equilibrium." DR doesn't quite make the cut. Too little often removes any sense of realism. Sensitivity is good, but too much can result in arduous driving. Same rules apply, but this time, you'll get cookies for performance.Ĭontrols It's always difficult to rate control in racers. For those who drool over Last Man Standing, try the Arena League. ![]() Win the rookie circuit and move on to the semi-pros and the pros, gaining access to new courses along the way and collecting money to buy new cars. In a perfect world, after sharpening your skills on the practice tracks, your mission is to enter the aforementioned League. ![]() It was extremely frustrating to see the main menu pop up instead of "Congratulations, you've just unlocked another track!" Why do the people at Pitbull Syndicate tease us so? Don't mislead us with a hard-core nomenclature like Demolition, when in reality, it's merely an Exhibition or Test-Run for the various Leagues. My reason - even after finishing first, which is a rare feat, you don't get a cookie. After a few hours of speeding around the courses and breaking a few fingers, this gamer believes Demolition should be called "The Practice," just like that TV show by David E. ![]() A must for taking out your daily aggressions.ĭemolition mode has yet another sub-directory of circuits, but only four of the possible 10 are playable when you initially enter its realm of pain. It's like those monster truck events you may have seen on TV or in person, minus the trucks. Sixteen cars attempt to destroy each other in a circular arena, until there's only one left. Last Man Standing is just a nicer, less violent name for suicide. The underlying goal of both races is the same, but getting there is another story. I mean, your car has to place, damage the competition and survive a beating from both the track and aggressive drivers.ĭuring single race mode, the only playable circuits are Last Man Standing and, to no one's surprise, Demolition. Finishing first is as complicated as winning a NASCAR event against Jeff Gordon. DR is one of the toughest racing games to date. Only then will you unlock all the secrets.Įasier said than done. Unfortunately, most vehicles, tracks and circuits are locked, so the options and my ability to fully review this game are very limited. Under the demolition league, you have your choice of five circuits: rookie, semi pro, pro, endurance and arena. When opting for a single race, you can choose among the following: demolition, chase, chicken, last man standing and suicide. You're given three options from the get-go: single race, demolition league and two-player mode. Gameplay Though it has some holes, Demolition Racer doesn't lack in the variety department. ![]()
