Death Track: Resurrection is a racing/action title that takes players into a post-apocalyptic, not-too-distant future where traditional sports have been replaced by far more violent entertainment. The main event, The Survival Race, is a deadly combat racing tournament that draws the world's best drivers to compete in spectacular road battles with powerful, weapons-laden hot rods. Gamers will drive, battle and try to survive in races that take place in twisted future versions of the planet's biggest cities.
Features:
Combat racing across post apocalyptic versions of 10 major cities: Bangkok, Vatican City, London, Moscow, New York, Paris, Prague, San Diego, Istanbul and Tokyo.
Destructible environments add to the chaotic destruction surrounding each race.
10 powerful car models, customizable with multiple weapons, upgrades and paint jobs.
Thrilling suspense story drives the single-player narrative.
What do I dislike in arcade race games?
- If the enemy has different physics than I.
- If I can hit invisible walls.
- If I have to grind a lot to have a chance to win in a race.
This game has all of that. I've bought because of nostalgia but had some bitter.
The Good: it's a racing game with guns. There aren't many around. And it's good. In fact it's decent if played without the guns.
Tip: play in "Classic" mode. You get more armor, less laps, and thus less blow-up frustration
The Bad:
- inconsistent difficulty. Some track are "win on first try". Others are rage-quit material, mostly because of #&@*@& obstacles in the middle of the road.
- as typical of such games, robot cars have a behaviour that's inconsistent with yours. Some go at insane speeds, others turtle along, shooting at stuff.
- while weapons and upgrades have stats, chassis don't. ALso the fact that you pretty much have to spend you cash upgrading the starting vehicule means the chassis don'T see much use.
- the 3rd person view is more useful than the 1st person one. TOo bad some car models obstruct your view...
1) Car health is very low and there is no counter play to getting shot because it's all auto aim. You just have to take it like a b
2) Random crap on the track everywhere. As usual AI is unphased while for you hitting something means straight to the back of the pack
3) Starter car handles very badly (I'm assuming you can upgrade this but you have to grind)
4) Powerups move around, often right as you are about to pick them up. WHY? WHAT DOES THIS ADD?
#1 and #2 with #3 to assist pretty much ruin the game as you will spend 50% of your time disabled instead of actually racing. I would rather play Grip and I didn't like that game either!
Full of chaotic car chasing action and an arcade feel it provides a near DeathRace 2008 movie feel style of action which may have been the aim here? But this is not a movie tie in game (they are terrible normally) but it feels a bit like some kind of movie tie in game that isn't half bad for once, in fact it's pretty good and it hit's with a good amount of carnage there's not that much weaponary on the first stage machine guns mines and missiles though it may change /improve on weaponary as you progress through the game but I'm not sure yet really.
But this is pretty good fun and pretty fast paced racing with some dodging and weaving both from obstacles and enemies and also including dodging nemy car carcases which can create an extra challenge to zoom past at high speed once you take someone out close in, it's a quite a challenging game to play but yet it's still a simple enough to understand game as t's a casual play style but fast paced speed of travel racing game and shooter combined into one,
It will likely be a little of a learning curve to figure out your triggers and firing buttons ast first as there are a few you have to use, but you should relatively quickly adapt to that, it may also seem a little awkward to begin with but it does quickly become second nature as it's kind of trial by fire.
Not overly high quality in the graphical department but definitely not low quality either it's reasonably good graphics in fact especially going back to 2009. The steering is actually good to be honest and the controller support is reasonably good to it works with ps3 and xbox 360 as well as some generic PC controllers natively, it detects and allows mapping of gamepads also, I use a Ouya gamepad mimicking an xinput Xbox 360 controller and this is detected fine the in-game mapping also allows you to map all buttons perfectly fine which is quite unusual for this age of gamepad and it's nice to see this as a rare and welcome feature this saves ever needing to map with third party tools and or launchers in most cases.
The game overall I'd give 3.9 out of 5 if I could have given half stars but in this case I'll leave it at 4 out of 5 stars it's a good game but by far not a perfect game but at the price it's extremely fair and when on offer prices always seem listed at a steal it's definitely worth the pickup for acrade fans that's for sure it may actually work for arcade machines and give a new experience to it all together, I'm glad I've picked it up for 49p which is an absolute steal during the current sale at the time of writing this.
When its on sale for pennies its well worth it, has cloud saves too. This is from the golden era of Russian videogames (Targem\Buka\1C). The physics are very arcadey, a lot of the environment is destructible. The powerup designs and the sound of the cars is the worst part of the game.
