Review: Motor Mayhem
If you?re wondering what?s being considered for Worst Game of the Year, here?s one of the front-runners.
If Infogrames is lucky, history won?t remember Motor Mayhem as a horrible PS2 car-combat game. No, it?s more likely that history won?t remember the abysmal Motor Mayhem at all. Yes, the colors are very bright and the programmers have clearly had way too much fun with transparency and reflective textures, but the flaccid sounds are joined by dreadful physics?it?s like driving a balloon. The fighting game-style combo system is unwieldy, and a sense of speed would have been a good idea, too. PS2 car combat fans debating between this lemon and Twisted Metal: Black can stop right now. Motor Mayhem is a game full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
