Gas Guzzlers Extreme
SCORE: 59
Gas
Guzzlers Extreme on the Personal Computer (PC) looks amazing. From the
chickens, to the rocks, roads, and the cars. This is one stunningly good
look game. But like those good looking cheerleaders in high school,
there is not much substance behind the good looks. You can only look at
something for so long. Eventually you have to interact.
Do not misunderstand me. Gas Guzzlers Extreme has features, and
customizations that will keep hardcore gamers happy. It has issues and
problems that will send you to therapy though. That couch may be comfy,
and you might want to nap while droning on about your problems. Resist
that temptation though.
The controls in Gas Guzzlers Extreme are way too loose. The PC game
controller Family Friendly Gaming has was not recognized by this game.
So it was to the keyboard. I wondered why the computer cars kept fish
tailing down the road. Then I found the keys to move and understood why.
The lag in the controls is crazy. At first I thought it was the graphics
so I went into the lowest resolution the game has. It was a bit better,
but not much. Plus using those arrow keys to drive a car is not very
intelligent. Sorry about that, but it is true. My level of frustration
went through the sunroof.
Gas Guzzlers Extreme tries to be funny in a crude, and rude junior high
kind of way. I was not amused with the sexual jokes in Gas Guzzlers
Extreme. Content like that will immediately exclude the family audience.
Which is way larger than the hardcore gamer audience if you were keeping
score.
There are parts of the races in Gas Guzzlers Extreme that are clean
racing, and other parts where you launch weapons at other cars. This
actually became pointless. I found it was smarter to get in first place
and keep going. Every so many laps I would run across the other cars
when I was like two minutes ahead or something.
I am the third member of Family Friendly Gaming to play Gas Guzzlers
Extreme. The other two had to stop due to headaches caused by the game.
I too felt a little woozy after playing this game in thirty minute
sessions. The controls need a major clean up, and then maybe it can
graduate to the home consoles.
