There has been a little chatter about this game in the Games section, but since the game has been dropped on Steam in the Early Access program I thought I would dedicate a thread to it.
I picked this up on Steam, and here are my thoughts of it in it's current pre-release state.
The racing portion of the game looks fun, but is painfully difficult using a keyboard to control the car in both gravel and on tarmac. So much so that after a few attempt I gave up on the racing.
The demolition derby portion, which is what I really wanted anyway, is probably the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. The graphics are great, the damage modelling is awesome (it's an absolute wreck-fest with parts flying everywhere), and even with a keyboard it's easily playable. The game runs great on my system (although admittedly I am running in Crossfire, but there is no profile for the game) at 2560x1600 with all the bells and whistles that are currently available turned on (with the exception of AA which I never use).
There is definitely still a LOT of work that Bugbear needs to do on the game, but IMO, once multiplayer is added it's going to be an outstanding game.
Is anyone else playing this? What do you think?
