Fun game. An absolute must if you have an Oculus DK2 (Silky smooth 75hz and easy to set up).

Love this game! I used to play Rock'N Roll Racing and Radical Psycho Machines back on the SNES. This is the same style game and it is still a blast to play.

Gameplay: I use an 360 controller. You can pick up and play right away. Controls are easy and response is great. After that you just race and blast the other drivers. There are different game modes, so far I love the race with the giant spiked roller that crushes you if you fall behind.

Graphics: nothing crazy realistic but it is not a realistic kind of game. They look just fine and work well for this arcade style game.

Music: I'm a bit biased here as I loved Rock'N Roll Racing back in the day and part of that was the great tunes. I don't really notice the music in this game. I will generally mute it and run a play list of classic songs that sound good on the road.

Multiplayer: There is online play but not many games available. I think this game thrives on local play. You get the same kind of feel as playing mario kart or mario party mini games, very competative but fun.

All in all, if you like fun race games I recommend this one. Two thumbs up!

Vrrrrr VRRRRRRR! VRRRRRRRRR!! TATATATATATA *BOOM*. VRRRRRRRR!! VRRRRRRR! CRiiiiiiii. PHFFSSSSSSS! VRRRRRRRRRR! VRRRRRRRR!

A must have for Oculus Rift owners!

DK2 support is fantastic and this is one of the best "full" VR games currently available. No "sim sickness" at all. The gameplay itself is very fun and everyone I've showed it to has had a blast. Really feels like you're outside playing with remote controlled cars.

This game is like a mixture of Rock 'n' Roll Racing for SNES and Mario Kart. I haven't had this fun in a game for a long time. Very addictive! A must buy for anyone who enjoyed Rock 'n' Roll Racing!

Game is great playing vs friends.. I play against my brother and his boy at their house. love the abilility to mix local players with online.


Good game. I read a review saying it was the new micro machines.. no it isnt. its different.. its like rock n roll racing with online. I think its definately as good as toybox turbos, which is the successor to the micromachines games, it is actaully probably better and its cheaper. Both are good games overall though. Buy them and have fun.

A generic looking game with great DK2 support and not much else to offer.

The Good

First let me say that the DK2 support of this game is quite good, better than a lot of game on the market at the time of this review and this game is comfortable and easy to play with the headset on.

The Bad

The controls are far too simplistic, it feels like playing a port of a mobile game. It's no challenge to get around the track at all, no throttle and braking just push the stick in the direction you want to travel.

The graphics while appearing “slick” are boring and uninspired, the art direction of this game has no soul and is just a mashup of hoary old tropes.


Final thoughts.

Go buy ToyBox Turbos instead, it has just as good DK2 support (if not better) has vastly better controls and maps.
It's also has an other thing that what BlazeRush game is lacking... a sense of fun.

F'n sweet graphics, fun gameplay and it will have you coming back for more. Promise.

awesome fun, even in single player mode, Linux support is flawless, really good game.

By far one of the best and surprisingly comfortable DK2 games out there. Well worth the price. I'm absolutely hooked.

A must purchase for DK2 owners. Cool fun retro game even without VR, but with VR this is killer.

Great !

:D

BlazeRush is more or less a top down (angled view) kart racer. You select from a list of characters and racing along various tracks, collecting power-ups to knock the other opponents off the track. There are 16 characters to select (some are unlockable) along with a bunch of power-ups to choose from. BlazeRush really excells in it's smooth controls and addictive gameplay. I wouldn't have expected this game to be as much as fun but it is awesome. BlazeRush features a full single player campaign and multiplayer. The online multiplayer works flawlessly as well and playing it with friends is outstanding. You battle constantly and the game allows for some amazing moments to happen, due to the fast pace of the races. There are three main game modes: Race (a traditional lap race), King of the Hill (Whoever stays in first the longest wins), and the cream of the crop - Death Race. Death Race is when you are speeding down the track, fighting other racers and avoiding a giant death machine. Whoever is the last to die, wins.

This game is AWESOME with friends! Much laughs, such fun. Video proof below!

I give this game a 9/10.

This is a classic top down multiplayer kart racing game. Quite possibly, this game is the best of it's kind in the genre.

You can play up to 8 players or bots and there's 16 different vehicles to choose from, each with their unique abilities and stats. There is also a Career Mode where you play the different game modes against bots in different difficulties to earn medals, awards and you can even unlock new vehicles.


Pros:

There's multiple fun gamemodes such as Death Match, Normal Lap Race and King of The Hill. There's also a good amount of modifiers like Power Ups and Speed Boosts which are a ton of fun too.

Now, the time I've spent playing this game so far is the most fun I've ever had with a multiplayer arcade game since my early childhood! It's chaotic, fast and action-packed gameplay keeps you hooked, especially if you play with your friends. When playing with my friends we find ourselves continously gagging with laughter during every match we played. The amount of hilarious wipeouts and tricks you can pull off is awesome and the biggest selling point of the game for me.


Cons:

I don't think there are any cons at all to be honest. None that I have found.


I strongly recommend this game for you gamers that are looking for a really fun experience with freinds. And if you're a fan of top down kart racing games, this is a must buy! I really hope they expand this game into something bigger than it already is and add more content!

Controller support is perfect. Multiplayer works great. The game is very slick, the effects and exploisions look top notch. Runs very smooth. Lots of weapons and level variety. Wow. This is the game Rock and Roll racing fans have been waiting for. Just put on some classic rock and you're all set!

Gameplay and controls feel very casual however the strength of the game comes from playing with a group of friends. I've played with 3 others and have enjoyed the hell out of it so far. Worth looking out for if you think it's within your price range

I`m gonna be honest here, the only reason I bought this game is to get 3500gs in star conflict, I really expected it to be another arcade looking game that I am gonna be a bit bored of after one hour. . . . . . well appeartly I was wrong!
I was full of sarcasim when I fired it up and started the career, didn`t expect much of it, but after advancing a little and doing a few races, I was really starting to like this game, and it`s unique styling and cute looking hovercrafts, little tanks and cars.

✽ graphics:- there isn`t much to say about how the game look, it looks good, more team fortress 2 graphics, nothing special, but again it was never intended to look super realistic or anything, whats really awesome here is that the game support quad HD resolution and what appears to be unlimited framerate( u can enter the desired frames in a box in graphics settings), and it`s not heavy on your system so any low end capable gpu would be able to handle it.

✽ gameplay:- zero learning curve is the right word, it`s pretty straight forward, mind you I used a xbox 360 controller but even with a keyboard and mouse it`s easy, you steer with a joystick and use turbo and press A and B for firing, nothing simpler than that.
but all this doesn`t make the game easy, you`ll have to focus and keep an eye on drop out, since there is no dying or anything, even if you fall behind you get picked to the end of the pack and there always booster drops at the rear, so your never left behind, thats what make this game unique in it`s gameplay, because you will have to use a combination of strategies in order to win, you`ll have to be a good race, keep an eye for drop weapons and boost, and keep an eye out for other players shooting at you, it`s also worth mentioning that there are plenty of charcter cars and tracks to pick from and every car is different in term of acceleration, strength and handle.

✽ multiplayer:- I would say that this is the kind of game that you simply play with your family or non gamer friend, due to it`s zero learning curve, the game is build from the ground up for local multiplayer fun or of course online, if you have a HTPC at home that is hooked up to a big TV this game would be a great for parties and gatherings, since not only the gaming experience is fun but also there are not much violance and it has a great soundtrack!!

✽ value:- of course value is always relative to the buyer, but there are always a reasonable price and well u know when your being ripped off, and in this case your not being ripped off if you buy it, the game retails at steam for abit less than 10$, and I got it for 8.50$ shorty after releaes, at this price it`s pretty reasonable, and even lower if you buy the 4- pack which is what I did, so each copy would be close to 6$, add to that the special promotion of getting 3500gs in star conflict for each game/user and u have urself a really good deal.
gaijin entertainment never fails to impress, and I am glad eastern devs are starting to produce decent games, last time I checked S.T.A.l.k.R series was the only game that cought attention worldwide which is made from an eastern dev. so good job gaijin for the great and zero bugs game, I would also like to say that they have a great and fast responding support team, so thats another plus right there.

so what I like about this game.
✔ no learning curve, just dive in and play.
✔ fun for family gatherings and parties.
✔ alot of races types and cars to choose from.
✔ game has no bugs on release.
✔ awesome soundtrack, of club, dubstep and dance, great for gathering and parties, mention that already :D
✔ unique and fun gaming experince.

what I don`t like about this game.
✘ a little messy and confusing sometimes due to all players sharing one screen and one camera, you could easily lose track of you car.
✘ camera always tracking is not one of the best.

here is my gameplay video go get an idea of the game :D

Incredibly fun and addictive, but experience is much better when played with gamepads.
I'm feeling really nostalgic while playing it.

One more thing: it's even more fun when played with friends sitting right there close to you, not online.
