These modes add a fun alternative to the typical races but fail due to one reason.
Outside of career, the quick race option opens up a few new modes of play including Defend the Base and Survivor which pit you against legions of the undead. Everything from new tracks and events to car parts and cars themselves is up for grabs. The more you win and move up the ladder the more unlocks open up for the player. The meat and potatoes of this title comes in the form of the previously mentioned career mode. The screen can become littered with carnage making it hard to see at times but in all honesty, this feels more realistic considering this is an arcade racer. The damage received to your vehicle is well represented as panels dent and crumple or completely fall off. The cars (18 unique) are nondescript generic vehicles that subtly favour real-world counterparts. The motion blur added certainly helps with the illusion of speed as you race at breakneck speeds through dusty mountain paths or road courses.
Unfortunately, the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Boasting 40 tracks and 8 arenas spread out over the course of your career, the diversity certainly appears to be there. Race, crash, blast and ram your way to the top of the rankings all while trying to keep yourself in one piece. Sure, there are a few that can scratch the itch, but GGE fully embraces the carnage. So does it stand out for the right reasons or is this one running on empty?ĭeveloper Gamepires with a publishing assist from FunBox Media have given the Nintendo Switch its first true car combat title. Gas Guzzlers Extreme, returns from the distant past (2013) and has been unleashed on the Nintendo hybrid. While the offerings are slim, one stands out above the rest. Hearing the news that a possible new entry into the once-beloved Twisted Metal franchise (Sony) had us at TBG yearning for a car combat experience on our Nintendo Switch. The modern trend of retro-inspired titles should serve as notice to those who don’t think the 80s are all the way back.
