Upshift Strike Racer Notes

Graphics- The graphics are nice for the game very detailed though I felt like there was a death feeling by the game. The pictures are very dead looking and the enchanced one is a bit more feeling. This is my own feeling but it feels like the whole world is dead or destroyed except for a couple of stuff. It felt like the exact opposite of the description unless my computer is covered with a couple layers of dirt (which it's not!) this has a dessert or death like game. Well I guess it's a shooter game so I guess that's ok? Though I mean the graphics on the outside are real good I liked them a but when you looked inside the car you see nothing but the outside in the inside. The inside that you don't want to see. I guess they didn't care. If you have some thing else they did tell me.

Update: I played other stages and had to say they still seemed lonely and depressing but they also had been a bit more visually appealing.

Update2: I played lots more stages and well I have to say the death feeling that I saw before was not as bad as I expected. I kind of felt a bit more happiness than usuall with this game and realized the graphics are awesome and the not all stages will kill you.

Sound- Everything fit itself real well I guess? I mean I thought it felt a bit rusty. I mean rusty type of music the one you see in killer things. I don't know why maybe the felt like it but I guess it works with the music but isn't different in all the ways you would expect. I mean there are few tracks and they don't get your attention so the music is their to bee there no other reason though I don't think it serves the game what it deserves… well actually it does.

 
 

Game play- You get 3 modes all revolving around racing. One with items and shooting one without and a time trial. They all did not capture my attention in any way. I tried to keep on playing but the maximum I spent playing this game was 2 hours at MOST. In strike racing all you do is fight while racing. This isn't like Mario Kart (a game I love) where you are a bit more skillful. This is pretty much just last second survival. An all out battle of life and death. Like a said before it's what I call rusty where everything looks like death and you don't want to be there. I really felt like everything was going to kill me like that movie saw. ( I guess, I never saw it before). Anyway there is a shop but a horrible shop I didn't think it felt right I didn't buy anything at all. The community for the game is like a village.

Lasting Appeal- The game is hard to stay with. I mean real hard to stay with because of it's depth. There is so little depth into this game so you can't stay with it. All you could do is race and shoot and that was it. The game can't really get any shallower. I mean it really was hard to keep focus in the game I got tired of it as soon as I started playing it.

 
 

Fun- The game is not as fun as expected so that kind of sucks also not a lot of modes and as I said before they are death looks in the game. I hate the look of some of it but that's just me but I wouldn't want to play the game because of it's death like feel

 
 

Downloadability- The game is hard to find on the internet thought you did have other modes to help you with that. Not a lot helped but Rapplez did always advertise the itself a lot so since that game is part of the same company you should easily find it.
