You’ll race on snow and ice and even in rain soaked conditions that will affect your visibility and handling. What you do have to worry about are the 18 fully customizable cars that can be raced on more than 350 miles of gorgeously detailed paved and dirt roads that make up the 40 tracks and 8 arenas spread across 7 unique environments such as deserts and mountains and even abandoned race tracks. It might have meant something if fuel had factored into the gameplay perhaps forcing you to collect fuel canisters or drive through a gas station to keep your car running for the duration of an event, but gas guzzling is a non-issue. Take a dash of Mario Kart throw in some Twisted Metal, a bit of FlatOut and all the cinematic goodness of Mad Max and the Death Race movies and you have just scratched the surface of what Gas Guzzlers Extreme has to offer. Here I am a week later, and I still find myself playing this totally awesome and addictive combat racer at least an hour every day – sometimes more. I took one look at that name and then a look at my growing to-do list of other reviews and begrudgingly accepted the assignment.
I still remember the email offering me the chance to review this game. I can’t think of a game in the past year that has shattered all my expectations – mostly because I had none going into this review.
With installments in the Need for Speed and Forza franchises still on the horizon it may be a bit premature to classify Gas Guzzlers Extreme as the “Best Racing Game of 2013” but it’s certainly a strong contender.
