Buy Crash And Burn Racing

I don't really know where to start on this one. I was expecting a toned down version of the old school game Twisted Metal, but instead what I got was a mobile port of an endless runner, which uses a car instead of a character.

Your options are left and right to dodge, quick brake and attack; no accelerator or brakes, just keep moving.

The games main concept is to speed down a straight road dodging cars all while picking up coins, powerups and weapons; simple enough. As you get further down the road, you will continually pick up speed. The overall feel of the game was a port of an iOS or Android to PC which would have been better off as a Free To Play with micro transactions or a free web based flash game, not a full fledged PC release.

With all this being said, the game does have it's own simple quick game kinda charm, worth playing if you have some time kill. Without looking at the actual specs, I would imagine this game would run fine on most modern laptops with just integrated graphics and a modest amount of RAM, so might be a game for a long car ride or flight? I dunno.

If they added leaderboards and Steam achievements, this would be a really really great game. But for now, it's a really fun endless runner game where you are a car! The physics are just spot-on for a crazy-taxi-type arcade-ness, and the game itself functions well, there is stuff to unlock, etc.

However the downsides is in the amount of content. Sure you could unlock all those paint schemes for each car, but it feels grindy just thinking about it. I only played for like 30 minutes, but I felt like I saw it all. Literally there are a few different powerups to blast cars in front of you, and you basically see how long you can last. The pace didn't seem to get more intense either, but I could be wrong. I don't really see the 'hook' of why I should even keep playing.

So why the thumbs up?

Because this game is perfect for what it set out to achieve: an endless runner with a car. Now if the developers have a chance to add in some functionality to give it replay value and they could gave a gem on their hands.

Wishlist:
- Steam leaderboards
- Achievements
- Trading Cards
- Steam Cloud

Will check back on this title later, but for now look at that price tag! Day 1 release and it's like under $3 US. This price point makes the decision to recommend to someone infinitely easier, I would hope everyone have this title in their library, although seeing as how they set the price bar that low you will probably have spare copies from bundles in a few months time.

nice arcade racer that got me hooked....

few wishes:
- steam achievements
- extra city would be great
- i think side traffic should crash the car

all-in-all great fun for a small price - thanx

Wow! the game was made by some really creative geeks, never seen such a game before! The price is almost to low for this Awsome game

Quite possible the most addicting game I've ever played on my computer. I physically sat there for half an hour and just played and played. For a small game like this, that's a lot of time. It's sort of like Temple Run, but with cars, explosions and awesomeness.

Cool little arcade racer. Explosive action and cool optimisation options for your car. The game is simple in terms of controls, but getting a good high score is challenging. Shame there is only one track though. If you are looking for a serious racing game like GT or Forza I wouldn't recommend this game, but If you like simple arcade racers, this might be right up your alley.
