Wheelspin

When I played Wheelspin earlier this year I believed the game was nearing completion. The only description that came to mind at the time was "Wipe-out on wheels" frantically fast, hard to control, bouncing and falling off tracks that would look brilliant. Howver now having played the completed game....Let me apologise for disrespecting Wipe-out by even mentioning it in the same breathe, gotta say Wheelspin is SHOCKINGLY POOR!

Even without a steering wheel you'd think I get the handling right eventually right....errr NO!

The slightest touch ends your run. At least with Wipe-out (Apology) you had a fighting chance of re-bounding off a wall, frustration is an understatement. What's with the eight player split screen? (Great idea if the game is any good!), but had enough problems with the two player split. Can you imagine that on a 21" tv?

In a nutshell the graphics ain't good, the handling is poor and the game and I wouldn't be suprised if it will be filling up Exchange shops after Xmas or the Warehouse could burn down and the developers do an insurance job.
