Welcome to PALGN's PlayStation Network Review Round-Up. At the start of every month, this article will be dedicated to reviewing the titles that have been released during the past month on the PlayStation Network and give our verdict as to whether they are worth a download or not. We're a little bit behind, so this particular round-up will feature a couple of months worth of releases for your pleasure.
Dark Zero writes: "Fatal Inertia EX is the PlayStation 3 release of the year-old Xbox 360 game Fatal Inertia and is available now as a download from the PlayStation Store, for a fee of course.
Set in a futuristic world where mega-corporations control everything from government to entertainment, Fatal Inertia has become the most popular, and dangerous, pastime. The best drivers race in cars that hover over all types of ground, from molten lava to coastal inlets.
Sounds exciting doesn't it? Unfortunately, in the early stages of the game it isn't. I know that the earlier levels are supposed to be easy for beginners to grasp the controls, but in my eyes they were just uneventful, boring and didn't make me thrilled about playing on. Fortunately I did, otherwise this would be a very short review, and by the time you get halfway through the 'Professional League' it gets a bit trickier and somewhat more enjoyable. The tracks are short which means that the races are quick and if you get stuck in the crowd with the rest of the racers, it can get very chaotic, which is where the races get interesting. A side effect of the tracks being fairly short, sometimes the race is over before you know it and suddenly you're in second when you thought you could overtake the guy in front on the next corner to take home a win which gets a bit annoying.
The races are based on six different areas with all the course"
I'll stick to wipeout HD. Played the demo on my 360...can't say i was impressed. LOL there was a time when all i used to do with my 360 was play demos. I've played like every single demo on it
im not buying, koei made it a multiplatform then made the 360 version come before the ps3, and they made us wait one year to get this. very bad mistake koei, especially wen 08 comes were there is better game and wipeout comes out
Been waiting for this game for a long long long long time
now... as a PSN title.. is it NDRM locked to a single account like GT5p and Warhawk are? If so that sucks.
they should have left it there.
Well I have to say I never was looking forward to this after seeing the game did not live up to the hype but I have to say seeing this game be download only is really great and shows what the future holds for PSN. So I for one thing this game coming out on PSN is awesome.
