PLAY review: Fatal Inertia EX

Fatal Inertia's release sort of feels like Sony and Microsoft were passing the game back and forth between each other saying: "Look, I don't want it, you have it." Originally it was a PlayStation 3 exclusive, then it wasn't – it was first released on the Xbox 360 before the buck was passed back to Sony. And now PLAY are comparing it, unfavourably, to a game that was released on the PSone way back in 1996: WipEout 2097.

So it's now 12 years later, and the basic premise is pretty much the same: it's the future, man has finally invented hover cars and so races are set up, silly weapons are as standard and it's up to you to jump into one of these wavering vehicles and tear it up just above the track.
