If you enjoyed Armageddon you will enjoy this. It is very action packed and very fast. It would seem that it was made for arcade. This is a car game that is not one of the usual. You can drive a pickup with a missile launcher on the hood. It’s all about dominating the street.

You can say a lot about these games, they are few and someone makes them once in a while. The point here is to put the game in the machine and have fun. There is no tutorial that takes half an hour before you can play. The tutorial here takes about 10 min, or you can play right away.

The main goal in the game is to do most damage to either your competitors or the environment. And there is no game without any boost and other helpful functions. Like any other car game you can earn boost so you can take the advantage when you got the need for speed. The new function here is “unwreck”. When the unwreck meter is full, you can turn back time and do things different. That meter fills up with the amount of damage you do.

And the way you get the unwreck meter full is destroying the environment. There are also jumps around the course that can make your 5th place to 1 place. When you hit them you get a “matrix” effect with slow motion, and you score some extra points.

Full Auto does not apply to your driving skills, so everyone can play it. And that is what is so cool about Full Auto, almost instant play. There are also so many play modes that can make a man go crazy. I will not mention them all here since there are just too many. But the most important mode is career mode. This is the only way to unlock new courses and get new cars. You can outfit the cars with missile launchers, machines guns, mines and more.

I would expect more out of the Xbox360. It delivers great graphics, but the game is very “shiny”. It seems Sega thought if they add more light to certain areas it would look better. When you drive your car will always look a little shiny, like the sun always shines there. It is like that on the environment too. It can be very annoying.

You can clearly see damage done to other cars and your own. The explosions are everywhere and well made. When you fire with your machine gun you can the bullets go, but this could have been made better. The same with missiles, when you fire all you see is some smoke. Full Auto is very fast so there is no time to notice buildings or other cars, but there is not much detail on them. With all the action going on you should think that it would lag a little, but it doesn’t.

There seems to be mostly techno and rock or a mix between those that is the main music in Full Auto. When the music starts to play, you understand that this game is very fast. There is little variety so you can get a bit tired of the same kind of music. When there is an explosions there is too little bass to it. When you fire a rocket into a gas truck the explosion of that magnitude should have more sound to it. When the music plays and the destruction of the environment going on at the same time there is not much sound left to hear. I found it a little too noisy.

Full Auto has a fast menu and easy to understand. There is no long loading time. Full Auto does not demand that the player has great driving skills to play. That is something I like with these game. Here you can concentrate on the main part, destroying your opponent. The game screen is also very easy to read. You got boost meter in the upper left corner and unwreck meter in the upper right.

These are games that I love to play with friends and online. There is not much thinking to do and easy to play. Fast cars with guns are always fun to play. And of course there will always be a very high temperature during play. The graphics is not as good as I expected, but hopefully Full Auto 2 will be much better.
