The same cars in Gas Guzzlers Extreme don’t feel overly fast they lack the same charm of the entry-level cars when you’re starting out (as ugly as they may be), though having the alternative to a Dodge Viper as Shaggy Python was quite amusing. As a driving fan, I tend to prefer the mid-level vehicles as they have just the right speed and handling, whereas the high-end are just ludicrously fast. I’m not the biggest fan of unlicensed vehicles with their parody-based names and designs, but if the GTA series can pull it off, so can Gas Guzzlers Extreme as the lower-end cars are better than the high-spec ones.
They aren’t the actual models as there are no licensed vehicles, but you can tell. As you’d expect, you start the available career mode with a bit of a banger – either a Reliant Robin or Fiat 500. This was an excellent feature as whenever you get overpowered, simply take out the opposition and cruise the rest of the way around.
As can be expected, the aiming is entirely down to the positioning of the car, so if you’re tailgating, you’ll be able to target those in front, often destroying them entirely. As Gas Guzzlers Extreme is a battle-based game, you drive around collecting weapons and the square button will be your attack. Yes, R2 will propel your car forward, but the other buttons weren’t immediately intuitive as I found out the hard way while driving in 2nd position then pressing the d-pad to respawn.
What self-respecting gamer looks at the controls before they begin? Not me, that’s for sure.
