O3DX

"O3DX" ist ein Casual Geschicklichkeits-Spiel. Auch wenn es auf den ersten Blick so aussieht, es ist kein Rennspiel. Es ist vielmehr in die Kategorie eines Trials einzuordnen. Unser Fahrzeug fährt automatisch in die grundsätzliche Richtung, die die Strecke vorgibt. Wir geben vor allem Gas und bestimmen den Winkel, den unser Fahrzeug bei Sprüngen einnimmt. Daß das Spiel dieses Prinzip, für das eigentlich eine 2D-Darstellung genügt, in einer 3D Welt realisiert, die sich auch noch ständig dreht und die Perspektive wechselt, ist nicht nur unnötig, sondern eine der großen Schwächen des Titels. Denn die Kamera wird den Perspektivwechseln so gut wie nie gerecht. Entweder sie ist viel zu nah am Geschehen oder sie ist beim Drehen viel zu lange in einer Draufsicht, was beides zur Folge hat, daß wir die Strecke und damit das nächste Hindernis viel zu spät sehen und oftmals gar nicht wissen, wohin wir denn gerade fahren und wieviel Schwung wir für den nächsten Sprung bräuchten. Das führt zu einem nervigen Trial- and Error Gameplay, bei dem es mehr aufs Auswendiglernen ankommt als auf Skill. Hinzu kommen noch anstrengend fummelige Stellen, die meist nur mit Glück zu schaffen sind. All das führt zu einem spaßbefreiten Gameplay, das bei Weitem nicht an das eines "Trials" heranreicht. Die Frage muß auch erlaubt sein, weshalb man überhaupt darauf kommt, ein solches Sprung-Geschicklichkeitsspiel mit schweren Fahrzeugen und Buggys zu machen, die dafür eigentlich überhaupt nicht geeignet wären. Grafisch ist das Spiel in Ordnung, bleibt allerdings auf einem eher unterdurchschnittlichen Niveau. Die Sounds sind ziemlich schwach und die enthaltene Musik geht einem in kurzer Zeit auf den eh schon unterforderten Geist.

[h1][b]4/10 Gesamtwertung

This game isn't very good. Basically, it is a game where the player presses the A button and watches the Hot Wheel go down a defined track. The physics are wonky as are the camera so there is never a feeling that the vehicle is under the player's control. The state of development is stable and looks decent but I don't think that it will get much better. O3DX is simply a bad concept.

Magistral

O3DX, how shall I compare thee? To a summer's day? Uh, no, think again buddy! ...Ok, let's start positively... - First of all, we can see this game is very acceptable graphics-wise, and is perfectly acceptable for what it is. - Sounds: Can't say they're amazing, but I didn't find them annoying either, so we'll call that a positive as well. ...So now we'll talk Negatives... 1. NO resolution options - this might only affect the Mac version (which shouldn't be an excuse), but it's a little annoying because the way this game is setup (due to the camera, mentioned in my gameplay issues below), you really need to run it in a smaller window. 2. Although a minor gripe, it's still something that should be better implemented, and that is, I found it hard to navigate all the menus with the keyboard, and had to use mouse to get around half the time. 3. Lastly, and this is probably the most serious of issues - the actual gameplay. Seriously, this is perhaps the most important thing to get right, and it bombed badly. This issue is so important to address let's have subsections: a. The first gameplay issue is the camera zoom/pan/angles - because the camera is zoomed in so much most of the time, you can not see far enough ahead in the track to adjust your speed or angle of the vehicle. This single point alone made most of my gametime frustrating, restarting levels because I stuffed up due to not seeing the obstacles in time. b. Second gameplay issue I came across was the sudden drop in speed of the vehicle when going up a hill or when you land even slightly unevenly - this caused me to have to restart levels due to not having enough speed to get over an obstacle, or not getting big enough jumps. c. Third gameplay issue that I'll mention is the unexpected vehicle crashes that occur - I might be driving over an obstacle, and all of a sudden the vehicle will crash, or, on one occasion, the vehicle randomly jumped in the air and crashed into nothing before landing in a mess on the road. I can forgive everything else, but I gave up playing after 1 1/2 hrs due to the gameplay issues alone. The random vehicle crashes, the vehicle speed issues, and bad camera make this more of a game of luck than skill. I actually played this briefly quite a few months ago before it came onto Steam, and it really doesn't seem to me like it has changed much at all since then. Due to this, I am not putting much hope into the gameplay issues being sorted before release, but let's hope the devs do.

This is just a ramble, but please don't buy this game... This game feels like a poorly made copy of whatever the current flavor of Excitebike is (Trials:Fusion?). The controls are either unresponsive or meaningless most of the time. On the first level, I had numerous rollovers on hills that I had previously passed without a problem. I passed them without using the joystick, simply pressing accelerate and then suddenly the truck doesn't have enough power on the next playthrough? Things like this seemed to happen frequently. The sound was terrible with the gravel effects drowning out the sounds of the car or almost anything else. The music was probably the best part of the game. Oh, and it looks like another cell phone port which is probably why the controls are so rough. It's really hard to get the average user to tilt their tower back and forth to control the car.

Даже за 18 рублей это дырявая шляпа на Unity с мобилок. Пока машина едет по трассе,камера показывает что угодно но не дорогу впереди. Управление неприятное,машина разбивается даже если просто неправильно ударился или приземлился. В типа эпичные моменты раздается мерзкий звук от которого реально можно обосраться.

Wanted to like this one, looked promising but it just gets in its own way... The game isn,t too bad, but it's nothing special either. Kinda like Elastomania/X-moto with decent graphics but way worse gameplay. So you just controls this car that's stuck on a track, you don't steer, but you control acceleration, brakes and "leaning" the car forward/backward. The two big problems are that the physics aren't that good, feels really weird, and that the camera really doesn't help you play the game. First you're basically never shown where you're headed, so good luck preparing for that next jump, and then you use left/right arrows to lean back/forward, expect sometimes you'll see your car from the lef,t sometimes from the right, sometimes from behind... This makes the controls way more counter-intuitive than they should be. Add to this that the menus are really weird and don't respond correctly to clicks and mouse movement most of the time and you've got a game that looks like it could be good, but sadly isn't.

The vehicles steer too much and continuously changing camera angles make it even more confusing. Not confusing to play, as it's very easy; but confusing to enjoy. The way that vehicle moves is unrealistic, therefore not enjoyable. Sorry, not recommended.
