Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars
I saw the demo for this on the front page of the PSN Store when getting Flower and I thought to myself "why the hell not" and added it to my download queue.
Fuck its fun. The main game is like football but with cars. Each car can hop and has a rocket on the back. The net result is you can go 'supersonic' which is generally enough to blow up your opponents by ramming them, and you can fly for short periods by hopping up and then using your thruster to float around. The game also has a bunch of rather hard challenges that unlock new cars but the best component would be the online play. With 4 opponents and 3 team mates all trying to punt a huge ball into the goal games become a rather entertaining game with non stop nailbiting close-calls. Nobody seems to have mastered the game yet, and I don't blame them. It's one thing to be able to drive around and hit the ball but using the thruster to hit a ball in mid air is tricky as hell. Hopefully the online aspect stays livley for quite a while, because I can see this game being great for a quick pickup and play game.

I'm trying to get some quick plays in on my lunch hour and I can happily say the netcode in this game is crap.
1/10 joins will succeed if i'm lucky.

Yeah, the netcode is a bit shit, and I've always got a shit connection rating. But when in game things usually happen far too fast to tell.
Still its fun fun fun.

Downloaded the demo back in October off the US store, passed it over at the time but might have to give it another blat.
Was a pretty hectic month for releases. |
