Koei's high speed, anti gravity racer has been delayed on PS3 due to "difficulties ", but that hasn't stopped GamesRadar from strapping themselves into the Xbox 360 version to capture this exclusive footage of Fatal Inertia's cockpit view.
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"
wow... no water or dirt kick up
God even the early PS3 demo had a smoother frame rate than that. I'll wait too see the PS3 version thanks.
slowdown galore.
But to be honest, from the vids i saw before, i wondered how this played.
But now i've seen it properly, it looks pretty boring, like its on rails.
I'll pass.
Well, i glad they`re doing something else than another Dynasty Warrior, but it does look like a usual Koei game to me. Boring and repetitive. Still, hope Koei can sort out the problems they had with the UT-engine, so that shouldn`t be the main problem with the game.
I would take Wipeout over this any day.
needs the wipeout view.(that view used in video was poor)
needs less shaking and more speed.
needs better code as there was pop up and slow down.
could be good.
i want a new wipeout and a new quantum red shift.
