A dissapointment

Forceflow | June 6, 2013 | See all Forceflow's reviews »

Bought this game because I really liked Renegade Ops, but this is a bit of a different beast. I expected more from Remedy.

You're basicly racing around a circular track, and the one thing that immediately struck me was: these cars don't go very fast. You really don't have any sense of speed, even when using the nitro boost. Also, the default gun auto-fires, taking away the fun from combat from you. Combat mode also is just spinning around in circles trying to get a hit on your opponent, but not in a fun way.

In the graphics department, it's okay. Nothing too special there. The music was pretty good, uplifting rock, but got repeated waaay too often.

I'd recommmend you only buy this if it's at a bargain price. I bought it, played it for one hour, then removed it again. Just not having fun.

Racing with guns

Take a basic racing game and add guns.. does that make it better? Sometimes, but at other times it just feels like you are playing to earn upgrades, so that you get more cash for more upgrades - vicious cycle! The game looks great and runs great on most PCs (it's a nice re-make of a classic). Played from the same basic isometric camera angle, you can see lots of action while racing. This game is about racing the same tracks over and over to get upgrades - so if your looking for tons of varied tracks - look elsewhere.

Nice game

I gave this game a try when it was in a free weekend. I have to admit that it was harder to stop playing it than I expected.

The gameplay is very nice, with top-down view and the choice of winning races by speed, by blowing up your enemies or both of them. You earn money from the races and so you can buy new cars and upgrades for the cars you already own. As the races are short, you always feel like playing one more match, and so the game becomes very addictive.

The negative point is the multiplayer. The idea is great, where you could compete against other human players instead of the AI during the campaign. The problem is that the matchmaking is completely dull. During the free weekend (where supposedly there were more people playing) I could find an opponent in only a few times, but as the game kept trying to find more opponents to fill the race, the match delayed too much to begin and the opponents gave up on waiting. The game is worth a try. It’s a short game (I got it 99% complete with a few hours), but it is also a relatively cheap game, so in my opinion it is well priced.

Fun and addictive game

I've recently purchased Death Rally and at first i thought "this'll be an ok game, based on the Death race franchise". But before i knew it, i've already played over 6 hours in 3 days, and i'm absolutely loving the game. Graphics are good, the combat is fun and intense, the music is awesome. ONly small downside : the multiplayer. If you don't have any Steam friends playing it online, good luck finding someone to race against.

Death Rally

This is an "ok" game that is kind of like renegade ops but racing. It has pretty much the same controls and strangely supports 3D just like renegade ops. Its main stuck points are the controls not being customizable when using a 360 controller (but you can for keyboard...) and the UI. It is kind of a wonky jump the cursor around scheme on menus which gets sort of annoying. There is alot of gameplay (some would call it repetition) and plenty to upgrade, i really miss driving games that let you upgrade your car as you go, though it isnt like you buy new transmissions or port polishing or anything.
