"All in all, for $30 Fatal Inertia EX is definitely an enjoyable title. Thanks to Koei making some key enhancements, the controls have now been fixed up considerably, erasing much of the game's previous faults. The career mode will keep you busy for some time, as will the game's 59 courses and its fully customizable aircrafts. The span of race events keeps the single-player and multiplayer experience fun, and the replay value solid. If you're tired of waiting for WipeOut HD and you need a distraction for the time being, Fatal Inertia EX should do you well."
Limbo and Xbox Indie title Inertia! have won the second annual Indie Game Challenge at DICE. Sponsored by The Guildhall at SMU, GameStop and the AIAS, the winners will each receive $100,000 and an EEDAR DesignMetrics title research assessment valued at $15,000.
Limbo, which we felt was one of the best games of 2010, took the grand prize in the "professional" category, along with another prize of $2,500 for achievement in art direction
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"
If someone has the game, can (s)he enlight me?
In the demo, i found Fatal Inertia a bit slow, except in "speed races". Is that because it was just the beginning of the game? Can it be faster playing the game (vehicles enhancments, playing with always more vehicles, etc...)?
not gonna lie i played this game and i quite enjoyed it. the first time i played it was the demo on the xbox 360 and that sucked bit time. this version (Ex)seems more fun and i will be getting it when it finaly hits europe
I will be looking into it, if only to pass over the time before Wipeout HD is finally released
