#Shadwen stupid game trial
There's a lot of content with three difficulty modes, a time trial mode, a challenging 'hero mode' where your life is your boost (F-Zero style) and eery multiplayer option you can think of. I also love the camera which shifts just enough as to not invert controls but not enough to be always plabted behind you when you drive up a wall and shows you that you are actually sideways which adds to the dynamic look of the races, which is somethong MK8 and F-Zero doesn't do. This is all stellar stuff and way worth the asking price. The Ikaruga style colour switching to activate boosts enhances rather than annoys too which initially worried me.

You can also catch some impressive air time if you boost on a jump. The sense of speed is awesome and even though some hazards can one shot kill you, boosting through most of them lets you dodge damage. The F-Zero announcer loves life in this game and has a lot to say, he can be mean but at least he isn't calling me a retard anymore. There are a lot of tracks here too and fifteen different cars to try out. The music is really cool too and wow do those graphics look great. What a game, yeah it's an F-Zero clone but in a world without F-Zero this is the next bst thing. Leaves me thinking that the issues I'm getting wound up by now are never going to go away and carrying on would be an act of insanity. I feel bad calling this a bad game since I've played it for such a short amount of time, but that entire time was spent getting annoyed and angry because of the specific things the game is built around that make the game unique. It's honestly just annoying, like watching a video that hasn't fully buffered. I gather this is so you can aim your grappling hook more easily and assess your circumstances, but it means that the entire game has a grating stop/start rhythm to it. Time freezes when you aren't moving, too. Except, the child is very stupid and seems to really love hesitating and running back to where she was, or even just barging through piles of boxes, making lots of noise and attracting the very guards I just distracted. An escort game, hooray! I have no direct control over the child and have to trust her AI to get her from hiding place to hiding place, or ping locations for her to run to and guide her manually. This game looks so nice and seems like it'd be a fun stealth game if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not being challenged on getting myself through areas undetected but rather on getting a defenceless child through them undetected. Four levels in and all I have to show for it is a sour mood.
