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"
when does the ps3 version come out ?
I'm glad they delayed it a year. I don't care to buy it anymore.
Is 360 version coming first? Where is PS3 version. I hope they dont abandon PS3.
For saying that this game was running on PS3 hardware in February, there is no way there won't be a PS3 version they wouldn't just scrap the code, must be a tactical thing from the studio or timed exclusive...
yeah this was one of the first announced ps3 launch games...that didn't work at all...this thing is as old as Dark Sector in development for the most part...and both games have delays and stuff all over the place because they couldn't make up their mind on what platform to release it on...
I hope these two mentioned games don't end up victims of have simply way too many people working on them...In games like this, that can make it sour really quick, with everybody trying to include everybody and their dentist's ideas into the game...
Hopefully its just a matter MS or Sony throwing money at them...and the game for both platforms will have been worth the wait...
