Rollcage

Rollcage zal nog wel een tijdje in mijn PlayStation blijven zitten want ik ben er na een week spelen nog lang niet op uitgekeken. Dat is mede te danken aan die multiplayer splitscreen mode die net zo snel is als de 1 speler mode (!) en natuurlijk die vette soundtrack en de... Nou ja, ga het zelf maar checken.

Rollcage is a fairly honest game, which is possibly why I find it so appealing. It doesn't pretend to be a Gran Turismo clone or a Ridge Racer beater. It's basically an Arcade Rollercoaster ride that will leave you breathless for a moderate period of time. Psygnosis have thankfully returned to what they do best... breakneck speed futuristic arcade racers. WHOOPEEE!!!

Overall, the worst thing about Rollcage is that it's only two player, which is hardly a complaint given that most PlayStation games are one- to two-player. But wouldn't it be great if...Oh well...Not to be forgotten, the single-player mode is fantastic, but it's the two-player mode that'll have you jumping around like a nerd on coke and pop-rocks. It's an instant immersion into adrenal levels of ferocious competition. If you haven't already figured it out, Rollcage is a highly intoxicating battle racer that anybody in his or her right mind should own.

Annars finns det nästan bara positiva saker att säga om det här spelet. Vi vet redan att svängig dansmusik gör sig alldeles utmärkt i dessa sammanhang och vid det här laget finns det nästan inget racingspel som saknar flyt. Och trots att ljuseffekter som blixtrar och elektriskt blå elstrålar inte är några nyheter bidrar de till inramningen. Dessutom går det imponerande snabbt även när man spelar två personer samtidigt, med delad skärm. Men som alla vet är det spelkontrollen som gör ett racingspel. Och den hade kunnat vara bättre.

Rollcage is an overall good game with the gameplay being the absolute best part. The speed, and the ability to race upside down or anywhere for that matter makes the game original and fun, which is incredibly rare among racing games in today's et. The soundtrack was really good, and the graphics were even better. Not only is the game fun, but it is addicting as well, providing for hours of racing fun.

Rollcage est un jeu très jouable, qui bénéficie d'une bonne réalisation technique et compte quelques atouts qui font de lui un bon jeu de course, même si la concurrence est de plus en plus rude dans ce domaine sur Playstation.

Perhaps in the future we will drive crazy vehicles like these. Maybe we'll also live in high rise space needles like the Jetson's, filled with exotic alien women, and be playing the Playstation 3000. Hell, who knows what the future may bring... but Psygnosis' future will be set and secured if it can only keep its credibility up by sticking to quality games like Rollcage. Just please... please leave the racial groin kicking out.

In the end, if it weren't for all the catchy spots in this game, Rollcage would rank up around the original Extreme G, if not near Wipeout XL. Take my advice and buy the soundtrack, rent Rollcage, go home, cross your fingers, and hope that the upcoming Wipeout 3 will become the new reigning king of futuristic racing games.
