Like a cross of Twisted Metal, meets San Francisco Rush, and even Beetle Adventure racing. They consist of multiple pathways usually, and at times remind me of some of my favorite racing games of the past. The tracks here consistently kept surprising me as more and more unlocked. Start sucking though, and they take the car away. Do well enough in races and sponsored cars can show up, giving players bonus money for each win. Using money gained from race wins and random pickups in the races gives players cash to buy new cars and upgrade the current vehicles. The more races players succeed at, the more unlocks open, from new tracks to new parts and decals. At times it can almost feel like too much, as playersbarrel down a dusty desert road or snow covered embankment. Explosions rocking the screen, mines on the ground to avoid, and smoke screens in the players face. This can add to some hilariously fun and exciting races. Did I mention that the game is not only about racing, but also destroying the opponents? Each race consists of either using weapons, boosts, or power ups to take the opposing racers down. That’s not to say that player will be getting simulated physics with their driving, but cars handle well, can be upgraded, and sliding around corners becomes fun and chaotic. Yes the lines repeat eventually and they get a bit mundane, still it’s an appreciable effort.Įnough about the humor, the real question is how is the racing? Surprisingly good honestly, which surprised me.
It’s one thing to have Duke Nukem voice a character, that’s cool as it is, but to have an Arnold impersonator voice as well, I couldn’t stop laughing during the races.
From the name of tracks, the voice over for the driver, and the names of the AI racers. Fart Gulchįirst off, as far as games go, Gas Guzzlers doesn’t hold back on letting players know that there is a sense of humor to be had here. Gas Guzzlers has taken me back to the days of classic racing games, the kind I used to sink quarters into, and I couldn’t be happier. What is it? Well, for fans of driving games, one that take players back to some of the purest arcade racing ever, this is a no brainer. Gas Guzzlers Extreme? Yep, never heard of it before this review. It’s not often a racing game comes across my lap that I’ve never heard of. Don’t drink while driving – you will spill the beer.
