Bank Limit : Advanced Battle Racing

Would be quite nice for an early access game - if that's what it was. I almost counted the days to Bank Limit's release, having played F-Zero and Extreme G as a kid. So obviously I jumped at the idea to play a magnet racer in VR! The price is a bit high, but I guess as an early adopter you pay a little extra. [b]Positive:[/b] It runs silky smooth (max settings on a GTX 1080) and it looks like in the videos and screenshots. The player model feels natural enough. Handling is typical for a magnet racer, so if you played games like that before you know what to expect. Obviously this isn't a game for people who easily get motion sick - it's basically a roller coaster (fortunately I have no problem with that) and that part is definitely fun. The forced camera movements actually manage to simulate G-forces to some degree, which is pretty neat! I bet there are many other great features, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get to them...

There's a bunch of unsorted tips in the menu called "manu…

IF YOU ARE A VIVE USER DO NOT GET THIS GAME--- If you are anything else user, MAYBE get this game.--- (Most likely not, though.) The reason I say that is because the option for "trackpad" in this game is terrible. You basically use the Vive controllers for their buttons, and not for the fact that they can detect movement. To give an example, if you use an Xbox controller instead of a Vive controller, you're not losing anything in the slightest. This is absolutely unacceptable in a game worth 50 dollars. The Vive controllers should at least be able to point and click to interact with the menu, or should at least be used to steer the wheels as if you had a pretend steering wheel in your hands. Also, there is no form of tutorial at all, which in a game as fast paced as this is just... I mean, a huge demonstration of sloppy and undevoted dev work. You're stuck a lot of times with things appearing on the HUD, and you have just literally no idea what to do about them in the slightest. For Gaben's sake, this is a 50$ game that isn't even in Early Access, what are you guys thinking? These changes need to be implemented as a first priority, because I quite frankly feel ripped off and l…

Like many I was looking forward to this release and bought it day one. What a grade A turd. It feels incomplete, like a bad demo. Control system is completely unintuative, didn't really support the motion sense controller. gameplay is atrocious and I didn't really get any sense of what I was supposed to be doing. I felt completely cheated and got a refund, even now the price has been cut in half it's not worth it. If it were free I still would rather have the free disc space. How anyone can have the cheek to charge so much for such a weak product is beyond belief. AVOID

I returned this game. It's unfinished and even worse it's not fun. Don't bother, play Radial G if you want a futuristic racer.

Be sure to check out our full review at http://enthusiast.gg/2759/bank-limit-advanced-battle-racing-review Gameplay: 5 out of 10 We would actually raise my gameplay score up to 7 if the game breaking bugs were fixed. The game is actually fun but there are too many bugs to make you want to stay around for long. Controls: 8 out of 10 The star of the show are the controls if you use the right controller. Head tracking is responsive and the ships move as well as you expect. You can easily destroy your enemies on tracks above you while careening down corridors, halfpipes, and hopping across ramps. Graphics: 6 out of 10 The game looks better than most playable VR games. Textures are decent, lighting seems well done, backgrounds look good, and it hits the F-Zero meets Tron aesthetic pretty well. The biggest problem is that the game is devoid of life in level design. Presentation: 3.5 out of 10 Terrible menus and an overall disconnect between menus, intro graphics, and the game itself make this feel like an unfinished product. Audio 5 out of 10 Forgettable music and a lack of depth in sound keep this game from reaching its auditory potential. Overall not an average 3 out of 10 …

At 25 dollars this is a great game
