If the name Psyonix does not say anything to you, it is probably because Supersonic Cars is the first baby entirely developped by this talented team. Yet, Psyonix did the development and game design of certain games including Gears of War and the Unreal Tournament series. Radical change of direction with a game that you can get for just $ 10 on the download service offered on PS3. For this, you will access to a massive solo based on short challenges and some clashes increasingly muscular with AI and a more content oriented multi-battle but subject to a slight under-attendance. Worry, we can quickly find one or more drivers to share a moment of madness, should still not be too demanding in terms of variety of configuration on the servers.
So, what is Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars? The basic idea is to be driving small cars that are in an arena, arguing with metal ball five times their size, the aim being to push in what looks like a huge cage football to score points. To do this, simply hit the deeply ensuring care of the strike angle to eject it in the desired direction. The playground is fully enclosed in an oval form, the ball never leaves the arena and remains constantly in motion as much in demand by all participants. The fact that the vehicles and the ball are of extreme lightness allows a great gameplay, but at the same confused and imprecise. That said, it’s not about turning to frustration, this imprecision is necessary and legitimate and is the gameplay that the player will run out by the newcomer. Beyond the simple principle of pushing the ball, players must contend with some capacity such as to make single or double jump and use a boost, which recharges completely recovered through bottles on the ground. All means are good to get one on the sphere closer to the opposing goal or to prevent it from entering your own. However, it is not your only target, since it is fair game to go merrily on your opponents to break their journey and to expel the other end of the playground
Despite the presence of several maps and a little crazy side, the title remains sober in order to visually keep readability of action that easily gets lost in some groups. The animation keep the road, helped by a limitation to 8 vehicles on the screen, vehicles themselves but rather summary moving without any saccade. Supersonic Battle Cars skilfully manages to combine mechanisms drawn to different genres into a very nice mix and much less simple that it seems. Well thought out and based on careful and intuitive conducts, it offers an interesting challenge while a big impasse (voluntary?). On a radar whose effectiveness would have been greater than that of an ordinary direction arrow.
If interest will fade somewhat over the long term, betting that the state, the UFO will entertain you lovely hours, as several solo. Up to 4 playable in split screen and up to 8 online, it omits any form of multiplayer gaming, which is no longer so common, especially with a small downloadable game. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars has a big flaw: his name. It is one of those small games that are more easily retains the qualities and fun game that provided a few small omissions and contradictions of gameplay. Fun, original, neat, it relies on very simple mechanisms in which it is the player to develop the finesse of its management and its ability to use light weight and power of his vehicle.
