Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Review title says it all.
Don't expect anything great, glamorous, or well made. Got some extra time to burn on a cheap racer with almost no investment required? This game is functional enough to fill that hole.
Also, probably the only combat racer I've played where the machine guns are somehow more desirable than the missiles.
...and still, I don't believe anyone should waste time playing Flashout 3D (enhanced edition or not).
As a dull clone of wipeout, Flashout 3D doesn't manage to even convey the same feeling of the game it tries to emulate: barebone gameplay, weak tracks (and weaker soundtracks) and even the graphics are incapable of giving you that feeling of nostalgia of a 90's game ( even less so for wipeout).
So, no. There are way more worthy free titles on GOG. Play those.
Unless your need for cubic spaceship running around (actually, only forward) utterly linear tracks is that great.
I played one map, five laps, and quit on the second map.
Pros: Music is generic 90's trance beats ,
nothing over the top. Just prevents you from falling asleep.
Cons:
1-The graphics are blocky, blurry, Nintendo 64 style. Seems it might have been inteded for PS2 because it has a PS2 controller symbol in the menu. The Playstation 1 version of WipeOut series, has better graphics.
I picked up a shield on the track, and when you bump against things, the shield has no special effects. The PS1 Wipeout had shields, and it had special effects when it was hit.
2- with a controller, the ship is controllable. But the Physics are bad. You come off a ramp, the vehicle wont stay straight it bounces. The PS1 Wipeout XL and 3 had actual better physics.
3- View angle is poor.
This game is certainly trying to be WipEout (why else would they give it a vaguely similar name), and... it fails.
There's no challenge. Only annoyances. You can finish the grand prix in less than a day, and with an evening of grinding, you can buy everything for the final two achievements. But do you really want to? There's no point.
Winning a race is almost a non-issue. Most of them, you blast off so far ahead it might as well be a one-person race. Buy missiles and you can almost always pick off all your opponents within a few seconds of crossing the start line, because they can kill your target in one hit and none of the opponents seem to have the necessary Armor Mk II upgrade to survive it.
I'd say the music is a bit of a banger if the entire sound system wasn't a mess. At first, you can hear the game announce every pickup you collect and then it just gives up, even after a restart, and the music can't decide whether to be loud or near-silent Sometimes you hear random explosions that you're pretty sure are on the other side of the course, but they're the same volume as if you had exploded.
Some of the power-ups can't justify their existence. Autopilot is painfully pointless.
Speaking of bugs and glitches, yeah, there's a few. Barriers sometimes decide they don't want to be destroyed (and when they do, they just... vanish). Sometimes ramps like to just randomly pathfind your ship into a right angle to smack against a wall. you can't use any power-ups at all while you're airborne. One glitch almost cost me a race by just not rendering a part of the track until I was bouncing off the wall and into a mine.
And I haven't even mentioned some on the bad geometry yet. Love to see missing faces where the camera should see them... oh, wait.
Yeah, it's "free", but people paid for this and now it's only "free" because it's a glorified ad for the threequel. Problem is, it's a bad one.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
