Gamesta.com gets news of yet another upcoming vehicular combat title. So far we have Smash 'n Survive, Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage and even Ridge Racer Unbounded and now this. Could this have to do with the release of Twisted Metal? It's going to be a brawl in the genre soon enough.
Gelid Games has today announced that Wheels of Destruction, the car carnage deathmatch experience available now on PlayStation Network, is set to receive a slew of updates, including free downloadable content (DLC). The developers have been working tirelessly to try new and exciting ways to tear your opponents up, and in this DLC, titled Moscovian Mayhem, a futuristic Moscow is your own playground of destruction.
DHGF: There’s no nice way to say this. Wheels of Destruction – World Tour is a derivative, undercooked mess of halfbaked ideas that tries to be many things but fails at all of them. It tries to be Unreal Tournament and Twisted Metal, but gives the player the thrills and tight, responsive gameplay of neither. It is a complete and total waste of money. Six months down the road, if this pops up as a freebie for Playstation Plus members, I would still advise against downloading it. This game should be steered (poorly) directly into the junkyard where it belongs.
Thanks to the major release of Twisted Metal for the Playstation 3, it seems that car combat is the new genre du jour. In case Xbox 360 fans felt left out, Gelid Games has them covered with the release of a new downloadable game entitled Wheels of Destruction. The game takes the car combat mechanics and mixes in the online arena modes of Unreal Tournament. The result is an action-packed, super-fast game, and if that was all that could be said about this title, itwould be a good game. Unfortunately, there is more here than meets the eye.
"Yet another"?
