Topic: Smash Cars PS3

Due to the seemingly overpriced price and lace of demo, I have yet to try this.  Anyone take the plunge?  Is it the Excite Truck/Mario Kart/Motorstorm hybrid we've all been waiting for, or just another simple yet great concept not fully realized?


My guess is its a little bit of both.  Like two of their other recent titles (Magic Ball and Cuboid), it appears to have a decent core concept with some obvious flaws that hold it back from being great.

Stars? Whee, nicely stolen from Excite Truck!

IMO ET was fine as-is, no need to taint it by crapping Mario Kart into it.

I don't see how this would taint ET.  From the videos I've seen, it combines the chaos of Motorstorm, with the mini racers of Mario Kart, and a dash of ET moves sprinkled on top.  Sounds like a great time if pulled off well.

I watch my friend play it some times. There is no multi except online. The game basically looks like a less exciting version of ET and for some reason it reminds me of the N64 game "revolt".
