However the graphics in this game seem rather dated in terms of quality, in fact the first thought that may come to mind is the horrible 3dfx scene from the Scorpion King film whereby similar issues to these seem to exist: If this game was from an indie, small start-up, or otherwise any low budget developer, then the quality of the graphics would not likely be judged so harshly, especially if the game had excelled in other areas. This typically results in your car drifting or crashing into something despite the futile mashing of the game controller or furiously screaming at your screen. That is, a cinematic slowing down of the game, locked control input and a moving vehicle that you can no longer control. And unforgiving is a very appropriate word for control input interruption that is forced on the gamer due to pop up time lagged notifications and instructions throughout the missions. The controls as they are currently should best be described as unforgiving.
What may same as a realistic implementation of what a targeting system on a vehicle may be, results in for example, smashing your car into a moving train – but of course not crashing, and simply missing your mark and losing your train. It is near impossible to manually target a moving target whilst you are also moving, especially with the controls tied into the steering. Each button and its allocation is fine in what it does but the response to each control input almost requires a pre-emptive approach and some serious getting used to before you can comfortably drive in this game.īut driving isn’t the only requirement, there are weapon systems in the cars, some that require targeting and this is problematic at best. The controls of this game are outright horrible and sloppy. The story and gameplay hinges upon complete disbelief and lack of thinking coupled with the requirement of an agreeable temperament.
Unfortunately, there are very little positive aspects to reflect on upon this game that is not to say that the story-line is terrible, although it is derivative and predictable it is fast paced, action packed and somewhat enjoyable. There is also an element of revenge for emotional buy-in. The campaign story-line of this game has you getting involved in the darker underworld after you totally swore you were done with it, yet somehow you managed to get dragged into it because of a bad debt and the threat of the mob, one thing leads to another and you are enlisted into hunting down a major terrorist. The most notable calling-card for this game is the participation of some A-list actors, most notably Vin Diesel and Sonequa Martin-Green among others. This game opens like a blockbuster movie of its name sake derivative of the storylines of its name sake, and other similar titles, but with even more game-player road carnage than should be possible.
