An old nostalgia trip. if you wish to play the game do yourself a favor and install Community Patch/Remaster alongside Improved Storyline mod. Playing the game without any community patches will result in constant bricked saves and crashes to desktop.

open world car combat game with a heaping dash of eurojank awesome

Dec. 2024

feels like old times, still not reached both endings but story seems great

Oct. 2024

I honestly wish I could put a thumbs in the middle for this game, cause it isn't necessarily a bad game, but it also isn't that great of a game either. Some parts of the game have sort of odd and kind of bad design choices, and I found myself often hitting invisible walls where it felt unnecessary, especially since you're supposed to be able to drive where you want. Combat was fun overall, but I didn't realize that different trucks had different parts in shops(oops), and the economy system worked but was a little basic.

June 2024

The game has a linear story and many bugs on computers with Windows 10. Don't max out the settings because it'll crash (especially anisotropic filtering; you need to change it to trilinear). Enemies respawn in the same area after you leave a town. The maximum resolution is 1600x1200. You can accidentally break missions by doing things out of sequence, so constant quick saves are a must. Overall, the game has a great vibe, but you can tell it's old, and this steam release is not perfect.
