Didn't really play this very long, but I don't think this game quite merits $10.00 There's just not enough content for me to justify it. It is mainly you just bumping each off the edge repeatedly over and over. I just got bored pretty quick. It's a fun game if you want to kill some time with friends, but I don't think it's something that will keep 4 people entertained locally long. Weapons, from what I played with were all the same. You could just technically just hold the throttle and try to knock someone off the ledge without ever turning. Why not since it doesn't count against you. Good effort but I would wait for this to go on sale.21 found this helpful
Update 09/10/16 So they have added 'last man standing' mode which is great. The only issue is now that the controls are too difficult. If they fix this issue it would be a really fun party game and worth porting to consoles. Pros: -Good visuals -Fun power ups -Awesome 4 player local play -In general the game is very fun and I believe with a few tweaks the game would be great. If they had done an early access build it would probably have been a great game on full release but there are still a few things that I and the people I played with don't like. Cons: NOW FIXED (THEY ADDED LAST MAN STANDING' MODE) -Scoring system *the scoring system is based on how many you kill, we all thought the game would be better if you had lives instead and had to stay alive, when we played this game it was a case of constant kamakaze and not caring because it doesn't matter if you die* REPEAT THIS HAS BEEN FIXED -Controls *this type of game obviously can't be played with keyboard and mouse so this is only reviewed using Xbox 360 controller and it still isn't perfect, none of us felt that had full control of the vehicle* Verdict: For now I will give it a thumbs up as if they allow you to select scori…7 found this helpful
it's a fun game but needs some improvement, especially on how the cars behave on your inputs. I didn't really feel I had full control of the cars and they're quite sensitive to turning. I'd rate it 6/10 for now.2 found this helpful

Ok, bought this because seems to have a nice visual art, thus it reminds me 'Saucer summo' (minigame from Thrill Land for playstation 2 as i've remember playing on my childhood). It's kinda fun but needs more work, you pretty much listen to arena's music only, no bump sound or engine, powers-ups sounds weird... It's enjoyable at least. Nice detailed arenas and interactible like traps, domolishing pillars and nice power-ups 5/101 found this helpful
