Someone To Drive You Home

Isn’t a great game, hell it isn’t really even a good game. The first problem you’ll encounter is the controls there seems to be some sort of lag with the jumping that makes it initially difficult to get a handle on. I eventually compensated but I would still miss jumps and fall into a pit constantly. Which brings me to my second complaint each time you die the game kicks you to a loading screen which sucks. Now this isn’t as bad as too human it’s only a few second but it occurs with enough frequency to be annoying.

The combat is pretty dull with a standard combo augmented with a few special attack disks none of it feels as cool as it should. One thing which is defiantly missing is the ability to block at any time if you throw your light disk to attack you’re a sitting duck till it gets back to you. Another way to die easily another trip to the loading screen.

The levels themselves are linear with the way forward denoted by marks on the wall (much like the new prince of Persia games). It looks cool enough in black and neon but really for me it’s all a bit samey. There is one puzzle later on that is nigh impossible where you pinball between two Walls while avoiding fire. It is like a sheer cliff in terms of difficulty and isn’t something the game or controls train you to handle.

TRON:Evolution has a few driving sequences a couple in a light cycle or tank. With the tank sections being the only parts I would consider fun. The problem with the light cycle sections are that it encourages you to go fast to clear jumps. Meaning that you’ve got no time to react to hazards on the roads it’s just poorly executed. Which is a sentiment that I’d extend to the entire game.

Ask me about the multiplayer.

Oh yeah I don’t know because literally nobody is playing it. So even folks looking to bag some achievements will have to bring their own posse.

Theres almost no situation that I can recommend this game. Ok well I suppose If you have to see digital Jeff Bridges then this is the game you need. The story stuff is kinda fun but it’s utterly crushed under poor game design and average gameplay.

Phew That was rough. Anyway I’m plying dead space 2 now and I’ve swapped to LoveFilm as swapgame where taking ages to send out more games (we’re talking a week). As a upside I might right about some of the crap films them have on instant streaming
