Eurogamer Reviews: Fatal Inertia

The Xbox Live demo for the game was, in no uncertain terms, bloody awful yet the game itself, Eurogamer can now confirm, really isn't that bad - leaving Eurogamer to wonder why on earth Koei would undersell its own product in this way.

Taking its cues equally from high speed racing titles like WipEout and weapon-heavy cart racing games like Mario Kart, Fatal Inertia is a style of game most players will find instantly familiar - a hovering, futuristic racer with lots of explosions. It's also a style of game which has been done extremely well by other franchises (primarily WipEout and F-Zero), which does leave Koei's entry into the genre with a lot of catching up to do.
