Arctic Thunder - ps2

 

The game itself is quite difficult. I'm not sure if the AI is super-human or if I just super-suck. You are literally required to locate and use the shortcuts and collect as many turbo-boosts as you can if you ever hope to win a race. I did enjoy the...

Area 51

 

Inspired by the 1995 coin-op by Atari Games, which featured alien-blasting action with a light gun peripheral, Area 51 on PlayStation 2 once again finds players deep within the mysterious military base. Players assume the role of Lt. Nick Cross, a biohaza

This text refers to the Arcade version of this title.Like other titles in Midway's pseudo-series, such as Hydro Thunder and 4 Wheel Thunder, this snowmobile racing release combines distinctive environments and an exaggerated physics model with high-flying

Cold racing has given me racing fever!

 

Midway's had many years of experience in bringing home their arcade hits. They've dealt with some popular and fun multiplayer experiences, like the Mortal Kombat series and even the fast-finger-shooting Area 51. This time, from Midway comes a racing...

Tons of replay value and interesting level designs

An okay racing game; not as good as it could have been

Arctic Thunder has slipped on ice on the way home

The ability to unlock secrets with a semi-enduring points system

Constantly inconsistent framerates, abominable weapons system

A Word Of Wisdom - Avoid Arctic Thunder Like The Plague

Listen! Lots of noise! Look! A huge explosion! Good, eh? No, wait a minute, come back and I'll do some more...

It's racing, but it's zany and with big bangs ; If you planned on playing the arcade version 100 times, this works out cheaper

Looks like a PSone game ; Not very exciting, despite the carnage ; Skill is optional. Explosions determine the winner ; Arcade game levels of depth

Noisy and flashy, but in a wholly unlikeable way
