Re: Best ********en Game Ever.
I actually downloaded this today. It's got reasonably good graphics (aside from the occasional rendering problem) and looks like it has potential, but I found two major problems with this game:
- First off, the "sync bug," as it is referred to on the Official Forums, completely screws up the system. During the race, cars are going all over the place, "teleporting" from one place to the next, quite literally skidding along the track at a speed unachievable in the game, driving backwards, etc. I apparently lag horribly (though of course, my game shows no problems) and have been called a "hacker" on several occasions in six hours. The GPotato team is working on this, but they better figure it out soon, or people are going to stop playing.
- Two, there just isn't enough variation in the game to make it fun. Yes, there are around twenty-four well-done tracks, but the gameplay quickly gets boring. There are a few modes: one, you can play "Strike Racing," which is a circuit track with weapons galore and the main mode. Unfortunately, the lag problem makes this amazingly frustrating. There is also regular Racing, which is the same thing, but with weapons turned off. It doesn't lag as terribly as Strike Racing, but still has significant problems.
In either mode, you're able to "team" with buddies or people you don't know and share the glory and Light, the game's version of Experience Points. However, this can be quickly made unfair with the people of higher levels all on one side, and otherwise is a remarkably similar experience to the regular game.
Fun for the first few hours, but don't kill your week on it.
