Even on the aging Xbox 360, there were plenty of moments when I just stopped the action to look at the beautiful artwork. In each town, you find there are local enemy clans that you have to infiltrate and disrupt. They get you to carry supplies to watch towers or go after the Shrouded Clan, which has a penchant for making radio-controlled bomb cars. In Wellspring, you can accept missions from the Sheriff or the Mayor.

I suppose that makes sense, but I sure was annoyed that I couldn’t drive at the beginning of the game. After that, I was better able to make the sharp turns required in races and combat and I was able to keep up with the enemies and win races. But then I collected some better wheels that gave me better handling on turns. And you can drop land mines to take out enemies that are chasing you.Īt first, I found the driving hard. You can add spiked wheels to your vehicle and run the enemies off the road into canyon walls. You can attach homing missiles or mini-guns to take out enemies from afar. You can add shields that protect it from gunfire. The car combat is also fun because you can collect weaponry to adorn your vehicle. That’s the bane of many car combat games.

The homing missiles are quite useful because you don’t have to aim and drive at the same time. You press the A button on the controller to fire homing missiles, which can take out an enemy car in one shot. The fighting from car to car is entertaining because it is simple.
