Glacier 3: The Meltdown is your typical "destructive" racing game. It's nothing too special, but it did a fantastic job keeping me entertained during my first play session.

Nothing much can be said about what makes Glacier 3 special from other, similar games. Like I said, it is pretty typical. The game features eight vehicles to choose from and a variety of tracks that can be driven on. There are several power-ups spread throughout each of the tracks, each granting you some kind of advantage. I stuck with missiles the entire time. They act like the red shells in Mario Kart, homing in on enemies (most of the time).

The game's physics, however, were very amusing. The vehicles each made very sharp turns, very easily, at high speeds. I also bounced off a rock at one point, like a basketball, landing back on the track. That was quite fun. The AI beat me everytime, aside from one track, where I went all-out with missiles, so the game can be a bit challenging at times, but nothing that a good missile or two can't solve.

There's not much else to say about Glacier 3. If I were to attempt to justify its price, I would pin that on how ridiculous the racing is (physics, weapons, etc.). It is fun, but has some technical issues that I wish had been addressed, such as the resolution, which is locked at some low resolution.

Oh boy , where should i start from?
First of all - there are no other settings beside Music and FX volume and FX volume is turned off by default. The menu music is mainly consisted in 2 house-ish tracks, obviously cut-off of a random set with bad quality. I don't even want to talk about the controlls and the overal in-game experience!

Would not recommend!
1.5/10

Worse than FlatOut 3. Worse than Post Apocalyptic Mayhem. This is utter garbage.

The graphics suck. Test Drive 5 for my Playstation 1 looks better. The music SUCKS. The physics are horrible. You can steer in mid air, there is no difference between different track surfaces, nothing feels slippery like ice or snow. There are no graphics or control options. It doesn't recognize my USB gamepad. The car models suck. The tracks aren't interesting.

There is truly nothing good about this game. At $0.99 it is a rip off. Knowing what I know now I'd hesitate to pay 5 cents for this garbage.

Hello fellow steamers i have found out the controls for this game Glacier 3:meltdown

arrow keys= move (obviously)

"A" key = slide left

"S" key = slide right

ctrl key = boost or nitroux however you wanna call it

space key = rockets

Hopefully this has helped you for anyone who owns the game or plans to buy it. Enjoy! =)

great deal for only 0.99!

There is no Manual, no option to see Controls (Key Bindings) in the game's menu. Ugly graphics, absurd physics. I like such kind of games very much. For example, I like very much the game "Gas Guzzlers Extreme", though the "GGE" has its own defects, but I really enjoy "Gas Guzzlers Extreme".
It's a pity that there are too little such games. And I wish more games of such type but of HIGH QUALITY. "Glacier 3: The Meltdown" is the worst game of such sort.
