Burning Cars

There's quite a few better top down racers on steam already to bother with this game. It's pretty unpolished and too average even at its best to stand out from the field. Try it out if you got it the bundle like I did or don't. No need to waste time on this.

This game feels like a unpolished mobile game. The first vehicles are kinda slow, and it's difficult at first to make money, or buy any cool gear. Then you get the buggy.. That's when the game goes bad; You can fly so high, your car will bump into the sky and fall down. Or hit a pylon at the wrong angle, and your flying off.. in the opposite direction you where going. It becomes basically a surfer game.. with a car. This wouldn't be so bad, but the physics haven't been fixed. So it's easy to accidently fly off the course track. Unlike the AI, you do not get a respawn. Instead. You hit escape to see the menu, and quit the game at last place. My other gripes are the following; -No Multiplayer -Not enough tracks (You do 3 different tracks that I know of.. that are inverted, or slightly changed to make the 16 race challenge) -Not enough vehicles/weapons -Expensive for a 2 hour game. -Some aspects of game not balanced (Lv 3 Nitro = Insta Win, Lv 5 Shotgun = Insta Kill, Mines are tough at lower level, but once your in the dune buggy.. completely underpowered.. useless!) Suggestion to customers; A game called "RC Cars" is alot more developed, and was kind of what I was expecting when I purchased this game.. Might be better to try that out before playing this game. Suggestion to devs; Take a look at the Road Rash series with how they did upgrades, included plot lines, actual characters with weapons midgame. (Reboot Title: "Road Redemption") Another one is called Skithin, which was similarly pretty awesome game to play. (Had a storyline as well.) The last one that was pretty cool, was called Renegade Ops. They used voice overs, and comic stills to create the storyline between each mission.

The game is very short - took me 1 hour to complete for the first time, on hardest difficulty by the way. Handling is frustrating, especially on faster car which you need to buy anyway, it dosen't turn while pressing gas pedal. On that car gameplay consists of bouncing off invisible walls all the time. Often you fly off the track and have to retire the race. And, most importanly, Burning Cars just isn't fun.

Burning Cars is an impressive modern take on the genre, with fast paced action, and nice visuals. The area that really stands out for me is the sheer amount of equipment available for purchase: multiple tiers of different weapons, engines, chassis, nitros, armour. I generally don't play racing games unless they have a resource management aspect, so this game really hits the spot for me. My main quibble so far is that bullets are quite limited (but they are replenished at every lap) so I don't get to do as much shooting as I like. I'm guessing that you can increase ammo capacity as you get access to more equipment, but some more ammo would be nice. I'd also recommend playing in easy, which seems to make the vehicles easier to handle. Overall, recommended for car-combat fans, especially if you get a kick out of upgrading your vehicle.

[b]Burning Cars[/b] is a terrible top-down racing game. The AI often drives into walls for entire races, the shop is a mess of unsortable generic-looking upgrades/downgrades, and taking a jump too fast means you'll slam into an invisible wall.

One of the worst games I've ever played. Short, silly AI, very bad handling, no Multiplayer and so on. The game costs 9€ (!), although it isn't worth even one.

Игровая ниша микромашинок практически свободна для новых творений, не так уж много выходит игр данного вида гонок. И тут, неожиданно, появляется творение отечественных разработчиков, говоривших, что пожелания доделают - вы только проект поддержите. И так, в игре всего 2 (два) типа машин, ну с небольшими вариациями вроде этот кузов имеет 1 ХП а этот 1,5, а так две - медлительный и неповоротливый грузовичок и быстрый и всё равно не особо управляемый багги. Карта... Она одна. Мы просто проводим заезды то в одном углу, то в другом, то из одного угла в другой и обратно. Так же сложилось впечатление что некоторые трассы делались уже через нехочу и не могу и не буду, отбойники равсставлены таким образом, что сами боты в них врезаются, застревают и не могут выехать, а то и вообще вылететь с трассы... причём у игрока в этом случае респавна не будет :). Наверное не что иначе как "тише едешь - дальше будешь". Так что физика своеобразна... Сетевой режим или хотя бы сплит-скрин что в микромашинках можно сказать де-факто стандарт нет, обещали доделать, но... Поддержка контроллера, сделали на тяп-ляп, так что счастливые владельцы X-Box-овского проходят или мимо или мучаются. Очень контрастно смотрится меню с самой игрой и не очень удобно... ну вот почему из гаража нельзя перейти в магазин или нельзя было это всё объеденить?! Игра очень короткая (у меня рецензия вышла больше)), всего в кубке 16 заездов, выбрать конкретный заезд нельзя, играешь в кубке или.. в кубке :) Продукт больше смахивает на демку, и наверное по современным тенденциям лучше бы предназначался для планшетов. Хочу так же заметить, что разработчики после ряда неудач - тяжелый выход в стим (в первый раз всё таки), неудачная реализация контроллера - поступили по детсадовски и отвернулись от соогбщества, отвечая только на положительные отзыва и хвальбы. Итого. Игра нестоит свои 250рэ, и я сказажу, что мне жалко потраченных на них полной суммы для "поддержания продукта". З.Ы. Из приятностей, для себя, отмечу неплохой саундтрек :)

Phew Burning Cars...I play alot of games throughout a year and sometimes i'm finding some beautiful overlooked gems amongs all the games out there...Burning Cars is NOT one of those...This game is a serious contender to the number one spot of my most hated game 2015...This game is ridiculous, frusterating and awful in every way...Thank god there is ONLY 16 tracks in this...Now this would normally not be a good thing but in this game it IS a good thing...Everything is awful in this game...It's so boring that i sleeped through 8 of the tracks and the other 8 i ate my keyboard in frustration, the graphic cut my eyes to pieces and absolutly NOTHING is fun in this game...there are only 2 freaky cars in this game!? A truck and a Buggy...I mean come on? And worst part is...There is a EASY and HARD mode...Fine i started with the hard mode and discovered a very strange thing...Apparently The developers haven't heard that cars can actually turn...This shi t can't be for real!?...I was litterly going 5 kmh through corners and STILL i had to reverse the car and SQUEEZE the car though a corner and THEN hit the wall...My waterbottle have not flown so many times around my livingroom EVER!...I was *F*R*U*S*T*R*A*T*E*D* to the limit...I was finally through the HARD mode with the last of my sanity and saw to my horror i had to do the whole thing in EASY mode...EASY mode was really EASY mode for one f ucking reason...The cars could TURN!? So the developers has chosen that the different between HARD and EASY mode should be that the cars can't turn in HARD mode???....WTF!? I mean WTF!?! With all this said...Yeah you can upgrade your 2 cars...Weapons, armor, nitro etc. but these things dosen't do jack for the game and it's funess (is that a word?)...This game stinks in every aspect and it's so boring...The 16 tracks is in the same place just add a few more corners and nothing else. Please people...DO NOT BUY AT ANY PRICE...To be perfectly honest, do not gift the game to anyone and if it's gifted to you delete it from your inventory. My Judgement: 1/10 Peace out Peeps!

I really, really, really tried to like this game. It has some possibly redeeming qualities, however these 'possible' redeeming qualities are exactly what's is missing: 1. It is boring 2. Controls are difficult, unresponsive and confusing 3. It's harder than what it should be 4. Why, why, why no full controller support There are better top down racers 2/10 - avoid.

An okay game. The game is actually fun on easy. However (and this is a BIG however) On hard (as there are only two dificulty levels) The game become pretty much unplayable. The games so-called realistic car physics make the game unplayable. Steering is lousy and unresposive at the best of times and this becomes more of a problem given that your vehicle gets hung up on every sudden change in the course. If you get turned around (and you will be a lot) You'll most likely of lost whatwver lead you had by the time you start to face the right direction. I actually had to drive backwards for 3/4 of a lap just to come in 3rd. If you get knocked off the track (durring a pile up on a corner most of the time) you wont be able to get back on it. and killing yourself with your own mines won't help either. you can drive until you fall off the map entirly (which wont kill you by the way) the only way to get back to the game is to quit. There is no retry on hard so you'll automatically get 4th for that race. If you are looking for a casual racing game I'm sure you can find a better game elsewere. or at least one that dosen't feel like a like self abuse. But like I said before. On Easy. The game is sorta fun.
