Would be ok if not the annoying "freeze" ups.. unless they weresome kind of strategic part of the game? in that case, an explanation would be nice.

The concept is pretty sweet though. If its anything like single player game "Death Rally" but with better graphics and multiplayer support then im intrigued.

Well, let's see. PvP and permadeath. Now we'll get to see all the "hardcore" guys have to think of some other excuse to cry "carebear!!". Makes me wanna load up my old Twisted Metal:Black on my PS2, though. But I'll pass on this one.

hated it...

this trailer was edited horribly. anonying music, distasteful zoom in/out and stops, plus the graphic is bad.

If they're actually designing the game around the idea that players will go through a split second "Order Phase", then watch a second of the game, and repeat this for an entire race...

IIRCC, its turn based, the pauses are players setting up there moves for the turn.

I just played it. I'm just going to say that 1.) it's "unique" and 2.) I won't play it again. However, if it works for somebody else's idea of fun, go right ahead.

The freezes are when players are setting their moves. It's a turn-based game, as it says on the game description here on mmorpg.com. Turn based games can be vastly more detailed in terms of strategy and control.. so I guess it's an mmowargame as much as an mmorpg.

Well let's see... you can either go with the big publishers and get more elves chopping trees and fishing, only with better graphics than ever!, or you can go with the indie publishers and get lesser graphics and original gameplay. Unfortunately you can't have both. It's actually the small developers that will save the genre, because the big boys certainly aren't willing to take any risks with their game design.

For the slightly older people who dabbled in pen and paper games...this is is effectively a a version of Car Wars (under the GURPS system) or Autoduel (the Atari/C64 game from the mid 1980's). I have no idea if this new incarnation is any good but the old paper/computer games were a lot of fun....
