Crash Time 2

[h1] Çok iyi bir yapım olmasa bile benim için yeri ayrı bir oyun.[/h1] Crash Time serisi aslında Kobra Takibi(Alarm für Cobra 11) dizisinin uyarlaması. Küçük yaşlarda arada televizyonda denk geliyordu ve izlemesi zevkli oluyordu. Oyun çok iyi olmasa da dizinin bende yeri ayrı olduğu için gördüğümde almıştım. Dizide genel olarak araba kovalamacaları olduğu için arabalara olan ilgimin artmasında da etkisi var. [h1] Zamanı İçin Kaliteli Mekanikler [/h1] Açık konuşmak gerekirse sürüş mekaniği beklenilenin çok ilerisinde. 2008 yılında çıkmasına rağmen güzel ve gerçekçi araba mekanikleri var. Bunun yanında o yıllarda çoğu firmanın cesaret edemediği hasar mekanikleri de var. Bazı yerlerde sırıtıyor ama genel olarak başarılı yapmışlar. Tabii ki bu mekanikler ne kadar başarılı olsa da maalesef oyunun ruhundaki boşluğu doldurmaya yetmiyor. [h1] İçine Çekemeyen Bir Açık Dünya [/h1] Yukarıda da bahsettiğim gibi, oyun ruhsuz hissettiriyor. Bunun en büyük 2 sebebi; dünyasının çok tatmin etmemesi, renk paletinin kötü olması ve hikayenin düzgün uyarlanmaması. Ruhsuz bir atmosfere sahip, ilk 1-2 saatten sonra oynanış oldukça boş hissettiriyor. Bir zamandan sonra da bu sıkıcı dünyada kısır döngüye giriyoruz. Görevler birbirini tekrar etmeye başlıyor... Kısacası çoğu bütçe mekanikleri harcanmış gibi duruyor, atmosfer, açık dünya ve hikaye kısmına fazla abanılmamış. O yüzden de bomboş bir araba sürme oyununa dönüşüyor. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=3695334970 [h1] Sonuç [/h1] Maalesef bu oyunda marka karalamaktan başka bir şey değil. Çoğu oyun firmaları tutmuş markaları uygun bütçeler ile oyuna dönüştürmeyi deniyor ve bu şekilde oyunlar ile karşılaşıyoruz. Zaten hali hazırda derin bir hikayesi bulunan diziyi harcamışlar. Kısa süreliğine oyun zevkli geliyor, sonrasında dediğim gibi tekrara biniyor ve sıkmaya başlıyor. Büyük bir potansiyel harcanmış. [h1] Puanım 58/100 [/h1]

I’m an idiot. Up until the 50% completion mark, I kept thinking that this was some kind of Dark Souls of racing games and I was wondering why such a fun game had no cult following whatsoever. Without any embellishment, I truly thought that Crash Time II is an incredible love child of Flatout and Burnout. I was quite surprised when I saw the top reviews were negative and the game sat at a mixed score. Following baddies across town in a miniaturized Germany that still looks on par with most recent indie and AA games, taking them down by some well-executed manoeuvres and ridiculous stunts, or using my map knowledge to halt them at exactly the right spot was thrilling. Having to end my pursuit because I got spun out by a high-speed train, or not being able to follow the AI because a bus inadvertently blocked the autobahn exit, the AI having a good degree of unpredictable behaviour created some great moments of emergent gameplay. Adding the ridiculous challenges to this gameplay formula where you need to jump on top of a skyscraper to take down a helicopter or skipping through some half sunk containers to get across a canal quickly, or using RC cars to blow up trucks made this the Flatout sequel I always wanted, even more than Wreckfest. There is a sweet spot between tension and comfort. Comfort, in knowing your abilities and the limitations of the tool you have in your hand and tension in having to apply your abilities in difficult situations. Crash Time II hit that exact spot. I like being afraid of my own speed and having to manage my finger on the W button. Crash Time II’s car physics are pretty good and weighty, and busy streets and autobahns make pressing W a choice you have to make. Damage model is impressive too, even today. There is nothing more satisfying and infuriating than resetting progress because I’ve lost a wheel when I rammed into a bad guy without thinking about the consequences. The voice acting sucked, story was boring at best, and those feeble attempts at humour fell flat on their face because of their innate Germanness. Still, even if I disregarded the gameplay, there was much to love here. Crash Time II perfectly encapsulates not only late 2000’s but also Germanness with its Euroslop soundtrack, missions where you have to stop beer carrying trucks because fermentation process went wrong, and environmentalists kidnapping a nuclear plant manager. Humour often missed its mark, but initial setup for most missions are “we have nothing to do, let’s go grab a coffee/get tickets for the circus/have a race for the fun of it/have a beer with a friend” and this drew a chuckle out of me every time by inadvertently showing how useless the pigs are. I even loved this game’s feeble attempts at humour. Still, I’m an idiot. I was losing between 5 to 15 percent of my speed anytime during gear changes, even though I was playing with automatic transmission. I didn’t get the reasoning for this design decision, but it made the car fight against what I want to do. This was frustrating, because one wrong move could set my progress back ten minutes and make me replay the same case over and over again. I liked this decision though, because not only I had to conquer my enemies, but I also had to tame the car I was driving. I attributed the loss of speed to gear ratios being wonky and thought that this would be fixed when I unlocked better cars. Better cars didn’t fix the issue and around 50% completion I came across a dirt race that required jumping over an obstacle at a certain speed. This was simply impossible, because right before the jump I was losing 20 kph and there was no space to gain more speed before the jump. So, I checked out Steam forums for a walkthrough and stumbled upon a thread talking about how unbinding shift up button will cause the game to think you’re shifting up any time you press A to turn left… There has never been a harder facepalm in the history of men. This game wasn’t challenging at all, let alone being the Dark Souls of racing games. This game was easy as ♥♥♥♥. There was no challenge other than the one I idiotically set for myself. If there is no challenge there is no sweet spot, there is no tension, there is no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ comfort. The remaining 50% went by like a breeze, without excitement, without difficulty. I unbinded the shift up button again, but the magic was lost and it wasn’t coming back. I hate Crash Time II for making me fall in love with it under false pretences. Idiotic/10

Enjoy some drinks while you are playing and your golden.

This is a hidden gem for anyone who wants to race the Autobahn with traffic at ridiculous speeds, while having forgiving controls. Be sure to wishlist this game and pick it up for (less than) 1 dollar, money well spent!

Чудова гра. Різноманітні місії, жвавий трафік, різний автотранспорт для керування і виконання місій, пошкодження автомобілів. Місто живе: літають літаки та гелікоптери, реклама на вулицях, автобаном їдуть десятки машин. І це в грі 2009 року! Графіка далеко не найгірша навіть для сьогодення. Автомобілі виглядають сучасно, лише деякі текстури в місті дійсно низької роздільної здатності. На жаль, немає української локалізації. Висновок: ковток свіжого повітря з 2009 року після всіх цих "сучасних" розрекламованих недоігор.

Po 871 godzinach gry zacząłem zauważać, że w prawdziwym życiu mamy strasznie słaby model uszkodzeń. Gdzie iskry? Gdzie loty na 200 metrów? Crash time >>>>

You just crash your car a lot

самая любимая серия аркадных покатушек. Ничто для меня и близко не так классно, как любой Crash Time жалко только лишь то, что 2 и 3 части, что лежат здесь в стиме, по сути лежат бесправно, это, по-сути, украденные релизы, их выложил не разработчик. Но говорят, что будут по-нормальному перезаливать в ближайшее время, с фиксами и прочими улучшениями, но это будет нескоро, и я вам об этом не говорил

ХАЛК КРУШИТЬ

Crash Time 2, developed by Synetic and released in 2009, is an open-world racing game that combines high-speed chases with crime-solving missions. As a member of the Autobahn police, players are tasked with escorting politicians, transporting valuables, and apprehending criminals, all while navigating the bustling streets of a fictional German city. The game offers a mix of arcade-style driving and investigative gameplay, aiming to provide an engaging experience for fans of both racing and action genres. The driving mechanics in Crash Time 2 are straightforward, focusing on high-speed pursuits and vehicular combat. Players have access to a variety of police vehicles, each equipped with unique attributes to aid in missions. The game's open-world environment allows for free exploration, adding a layer of freedom to the gameplay. However, the driving physics can feel dated, and the AI behavior lacks sophistication, often leading to repetitive encounters and predictable outcomes. Despite these shortcomings, the game's emphasis on speed and action provides a sense of excitement, especially during intense chase sequences. The narrative structure of Crash Time 2 is mission-based, with players taking on various assignments that contribute to an overarching story. While the plot serves as a backdrop to the gameplay, it introduces a range of scenarios that keep the experience varied. From high-speed chases to tactical operations, the missions offer a blend of action and strategy. However, the storytelling lacks depth, and character development is minimal, which may leave players less invested in the narrative progression. Visually, Crash Time 2 presents a world that, at the time of release, showcased impressive graphics for an open-world racing game. The cityscape is detailed, and the vehicle models are well-designed, contributing to the game's immersive atmosphere. However, by modern standards, the graphics appear dated, with textures and animations that show signs of age. Despite this, the game's art direction helps in creating a believable environment that enhances the overall experience. The sound design in Crash Time 2 complements the gameplay, with engine roars, sirens, and crash effects adding to the intensity of high-speed pursuits. The soundtrack features a mix of music that aligns with the game's action-oriented tone. While the audio elements are functional, they don't stand out as particularly memorable, serving more to support the gameplay rather than enhance it. In terms of longevity, Crash Time 2 offers a substantial amount of content through its diverse missions and open-world exploration. However, the lack of online multiplayer and limited replayability may deter players seeking long-term engagement. The game's focus on single-player experiences means that once the missions are completed, there is little incentive to return, especially given the repetitive nature of some tasks. Overall, Crash Time 2 is a game that appeals to fans of arcade-style racing and action games. Its blend of high-speed chases and crime-solving missions provides an entertaining, if somewhat shallow, experience. While the game may not offer the depth and polish of more modern titles, it holds a certain nostalgic charm for players who appreciate its straightforward approach to gameplay. Rating: 6/10
