Don't download this! The game would be amazing if it wasn't for the poor graphics, gameplay, sound, physics, etc.

When you finally get to drive around, you drive around at 1000Mph, with about as much control as volleyball on ice and brakes made of feathers!

If this were freeware, THEN I might think about wasting a new minutes, but please how can anyone expect people to part with their cash for such a shoddy game! I imagine the pirates out there wouldn't even go near it...

This demo rocks! Very Happy

Never before I downloaded a game that has this cool physics: addictive, fast, agressive, wild!!!

The music (steely) is from Theatre of Tragedy: You either love it, or hate it Twisted Evil

There's one "but" for me: The min.specs are not correct, since you need at least twice as much to run this game properly. Otherwise it will look and play like shit. Shocked

But if you have a -good- and really -fast- computer.. I recommend downloading this demo!

lol!! Well each to their own I guess...

The music is good, but the rest of the game feels like a very cheap GTA clone. It's fast, aggressive and wild alright, but that's about it..

Cool physics??? Where the hell you from? The moon?? Cars just do not flip up in the air and bounce around like beach balls - give me GTA, Carmaggeddon, Driv3r, etc. anyday - the physics ain't brilliant in GTA or Carmageddon), but damn better than this effort!

Graphically it's dire - have you seen the size of the bullet hole textures?? If this game looked and handled like GTA, driv3r, etc. it would be awesome..

GTA is a little slow for me, but Carmaggeddon is indeed a good comparison with this game. The bad thing is.. there is no new Carmageddon since .. 2000? Sad

Manhattan Chase is the closest thing possible. If only Team6 gets a budget similar to the Carmaggeddon team and they get the official license.. (and work a lot on the physics..) perhaps it's something REALLY cool then Very Happy
