Interstate '82

Interstate 82 is not a bad game per se; however, it suffered from a grave error at the hands of Activision. Interstate 76 was developed by one team and Heavy Gear another. Since Heavy Gear had so many issues Activision switched teams for the franchises so the golden child I76 team went to work on Heavy Gear 2 (an awesome game) and the lackluster Heavy Gear team went to work on I82 which was kind of a flop compared to I76.

This is a disappointing follow-up to Interstate 76. If you've played Interstate 76 and enjoyed that game, this one will only disappoint you. The most disappointing thing about this game to me is the health meter. Unlike I-76 where your car performed just like you would expect as it received damage, e.g. flat front tire? car thuds along and pulls to the side. damaged transmission? acceleration and top end suffer, etc. In I-82, that isn't present. Instead, your car has a health meter and performs arcade-like driving with no deterioration in performance until the health meter expires - then your car is dead. So pretty much Go or No go. Skip this game and do yourself a favor, play I-76 instead. You can thank me later.

Yeah, I've played i76, but the only thing I miss personally, are the almost silly abundance of camera views that made me make-believe I was the protagonist in a car-chase-and-crash-movie. The improved graphics makes it more difficult to return to the '76 — just look at the lighting, reflections on the hood and the trail behind the car when you scream through a shallow lake! You can even «do a GTA» and pull a driver out of a vehicle to get possession of it. I think it's sweet (although I can't really disregard the fact that the in-game soundtrack is completely absent!!)
