In other games, the computer drones are either easy to beat (meaning you spend the entire race lappirlg other drivers) or4he opposite (the computer cheats too much). Both are very effective against your opponent, and can be recharged and upgraded to certain points in the race. First, there are six different hovercrafts to pick from, each with its own special characteristics, including speed, armor, weight and firepower.Īs far as weapons go, each craft is equipped with a chain gun and a missile launcher. Hi-Octane definitely stands above the rest, because it has every feature that a gamer could ever ask for. If a game is going to succeed, it'll have to keep the player's interest for more than a couple of hours!
The main reason is because no matter how great the game may look, without a lot of action, zipping around the same track for 10 laps can get pretty boring. If I took all the racing games I've ever played and rated them 1-10, they would all get a 5. HI-OCTANE IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE RACING GAME! The game reportedly boasts a wicked AI, so players will need to take advantage of the practice mode before entering any kind of drive to the death contest, whilst there's talk of network support for up to 12 players so you can battle it out with your pals and burn some rubber with your brother. Other "tracks" include busy cityscapes, open wastelands and sand swept deserts, whilst each of the six armour-plated cars feature different weapons and accessories so players can remove any unwanted obstructions that might be blocking their road to glory and the finishing line. Featuring a fully-texture-mapped environment, players hurl at speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour down pedestrian packed streets in one of six futuristic cars, easing off the gas only to take a shot at rival joy riders with with their on-board chain gun or rocket launcher. All eyes were on Bullfrog at the recent E3 show held in Los Angeles recently, which is not at all surprising as they were there showing off (amongst other things) a rather stunning new racing game that uses an enhanced Magic Carpet engine.Ĭalled High Octane, it's set in the bleak streets of the 21st century at a time when joy riders stop at nothing and slow down for no one.
