It is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, Steam and Windows 10 PC. Rating: 4 out of 10ĭisclosures: This game is developed by Gamepires and published by Iceberg Interactive. I doubt I’m the only gamer who imagined it might be a modern-day Twisted Metal, but Gas Guzzlers never quite captures that spirit. With a simple, accessible premise, uncomplicated control scheme, and action-oriented approach, the title could have served as a nice change-of-pace from hyper-technical racing sims and overdone street racers. Gas Guzzlers Extreme strikes me as a project that likely held much promise when it was conceptualized, but was probably hindered by a lack of resources.

I’ll say it again - Gas Guzzlers Extreme features capture the flag, deathmatch and zombie horde mode, but no competitive multiplayer. If readers need to scratch their heads harder, they’ll love hearing these modes did exist in the 2013 PC edition. I’m not one for overstatement, but omitting multiplayer in a game like this seems unthinkable, especially since it won’t be long before players see everything it has to offer. Unfortunately, these modes are only available during the single-player campaign because the console version features no online multiplayer. Some of these events consist of minigames like capture the flag, team deathmatch, and even a zombie/horde mode that makes even less sense than the rest. Of course, there are also special race events, sponsorships, in-game cash bonuses, and more. With career progression, users will unlock new vehicles, weapons and performance upgrades. With so much onscreen chaos, it’s unlikely that fans will spend much time harping on texture clipping, vehicle models or anything else - this is a bargain title that looks like a bargain title but doesn’t offend with its visuals. Likewise, the visuals and sense of speed are fine. The included schemes are intuitive and respond well to user input. The music? That will be forgotten milliseconds after the last stock guitar riff finishes dulling players’ eardrums, but even with a decent range of weapons and some interesting environments, this is a painfully generic title, even by low-budget standards.Ĭontrolling the vehicles is perfectly adequate. Once the racing finally begins, excitement doesn’t come along for the ride.

Each of the dozen or so courses are also chock full of power-ups, ammo and the like. When players win enough, they advance to tournaments that feature three different race types – power (simple driving), battle (these introduce weapons) and knockouts, which require players to destroy all comers. The structure of the game is minimal - win races, rack up experience points, incinerate the competition with combat artillery. I was starting to despise Gas Guzzlers after five minutes of waiting to advance past a static splash screen, and I hadn’t even revved an engine or fired a weapon. This is especially true when the supposed extreme entertainment is a direct port of an average-looking PC title from 2013, with interminable (and inexplicable) loadtimes. I don’t care if the work features a character standing on a cliff on one toenail while gripping olive forks in every orifice - “extreme” no longer has any meaning. I’d like to start this review with a request.ĭevelopers, please stop using the word “extreme” in game titles, descriptions, or dialogue. WTF The only thing “extreme” about this title are the loadtimes. LOW For gamers who long to play deathmatch and capture the flag solo, their dream game has arrived. HIGH Drive cars and blow things up in digital wastelands. Extremely… Generic, Shallow And Disappointing
