As someone who still plays Rollcage 1 and 2 from childhood playing this is a true call back to such wonderful titles. From the brilliant gameplay, awesome driving physics and booming music. This is a must have for combat racing fan's
I bought it a second time here to keep it forever. I played it for over 200 hours over the last 4 years and still revisit it when I want a fast racing game that feels just right.
Great track variety, free line choice, difficulty and speed class are always adjustable, split-screen, and of course some really chaotic racetracks that make use of the flippable cars. I feel like this is the logical progression from rally racing, with higher speeds and more capable cars. Some people complained that cars lose traction and fly off the track on bumps, and I agree that the traction could be a bit higher, but it's just natural for any MX-bike, rally car, trophy truck or any other vehicle to take off at high speeds, and the jumps wouldn't be possible with more downforce. So adjust your speed like you do for turns. It's just natural and the way it should be for an offroader like me. I hope Grip 2 gets mod support - we need way more tracks!
It's just strange, I've been a huge fan of Rollcage and was really looking forward to this one. But, it just doesn't "click". Nothing makes sense: The cars are not handling like... I don't know. There is just little to no feedback. You can't feel the cars. Another big problem is the track design. Rollcage nailed it. This one just wants too much. The tracks are either far to wide, or complex, or too simple. Then, the feeling of speed just isn't transported. I really can't point my finger onto why though. The weapons have been perfect and impressive in Rollcage. Here they are just... random. Finally, the nail in the coffin is the sound: Those cars sound like small fans, not like racing machines. You can not "hear" the speed. Everything feels just wrong about this game. And I can't really say, why exactly. I think, the problem is in every little detail.
The game's great looking, and runs great on most older/mediocre systems. It's got a great visual style
but that's where the good ends.
The gameplay simply doesn't flow or work and this is what I believe to be the result of not good core mechanical design. The cars handle extremely poorly and frequently have a mind of their own - attempting to steer some results in them "snapping back" the opposite direction you turn. You don't actually GRIP the ground, as even a minor bump sends you coasting through the air making it difficult to actually maneuver finely, sometimes even causing the least grippy cars to just spin out with these minor bumps. Where this is most apparent is deathmatch where you may stop to turn if you hit a rare wall - you won't actually "turn" (and said turning is ludicrously slow) until you gain some momentum, which just shows how badly designed the driving system actually is.
Some tracks are great, but some just have objects or leaps or aformentioned bumps that can send you out of control for a portion before a turn, because you literally aren't gripping the ground. Turning is also pretty much impossible without them killing your sense of speed and momentum,because you accelerate at the same rate from 200-300MPH as you do from 0-200 MPH - making it feel ludicrously sluggish for any sharp corners that some maps throw at you out of the blue (literally a random U turn out of a high speed tunnel with no barriers/track to "grip" onto - you're expected to handbrake to a near standstill before slowly piddling forward again. It just doesn't FEEL good and kills the feel of the game. You can be 30mph and have the turning radius worse than a schoolbus.
All that being said they make the game work to be rather fun, but there's a very good reason this game isn't blisteringly popular - it's just because the gameplay isn't great. It's a mediocre framework with a pretty shell.
I never would of thought of this game if not for the deep sale, but it's really good! Plays smooth and looks great on my modest rig (Win 11/Ryzen 7/Radeon Vega X/ 12 G/Logitech controller).
There's not a lot of story here, physics are arcade-y, and car customization is pretty shallow. This ain't Forza or F-1 or Rally. Combat is also pretty basic(not Carmageddon or Twisted Metal, either).
And yet? It's also hella fun. Instantly able to pick up and play, with a deep bag of tricks that will take time to master. Graphics that are sharp, pleasant, and bright without being overwhelming (and without overheating my laptop). Perfect for either single or couch two-person. Works brilliantly with a controller. Many hours of fast-paced, simple-minded fun here to be had.
I would have been pissed about paying full price for this game, but for $4 USD it's a steal, and belongs in every drivers library.
