We repeat, if you must. That's the theory anyway. The truth of the matter is that once you've got past the first two races there's no way you can finish a race in the allotted time without earning extra time by wasting other drivers.
But that's not all. After listening to criticisms last time around, the developers have added a storyline of sorts , which means that missions alternate with straight races. To progress, sorry, to escape from the twisted futuristic nightmare of TDR, you have to complete simple tasks such as collecting parts of a bomb, destroying buildings and keeping clear of reconditioned WWII bombers keen on lobbing bombs on you.
It helps to add variety to the gameplay, but some of the tasks are downright tedious and others are frustrating beyond belief. Funnily enough, we were due to review this game a couple of issues ago. In fact I spent the best part of a week playing through the 'review' code before being told that it wasn't actually reviewable after all.
Big changes were going to happen apparently, which would completely alter the score I was going to give the game. Big changes haven't really happened, although the graphics are smoother, faster and generally more polished.
The cars degrade excellently, with doors and bonnets flying off left, right and centre, and zombies splatting in half in a moist and satisfying way. That's not to say the engine is amazing. Far from it. TDR looks, at best, above average, and unless you take in the subtle nuances you'd be forgiven for proclaiming that it looks just like Carmageddon 2. Which it doesn't in any shape or form.
Memories are just hazy old things. The way the game plays hasn't really changed that much either, although the handling of the vehicles is much, much better. What else? Oooh, 45 races across 15 different settings and more confined, race track-oriented stages at that , a proper in-car view with a mirror and a windscreen wiper and everything , animated trackside objects like cranes and, er, larger cranes , booby traps, and more Internet play options than you can shake a big computer stick at.
The only worry is that those maniacs from the Isle of Wight aren't involved anymore. Presumably they're hard at work on something even sicker I shudder to think - Ed. Still, with any luck the Aussie team can look at the game with a fresh critical eye and make changes in all the right places. And if there are any changes you want, you can tell them - just visit site and take part in the survey. The split second we get a full review copy, we'll play it to death and let you know what it's like.
