I just got Rumble Racing (well, a few days ago) and IMO it\'s boring as hell. Most of the levels are main problem, as they\'re uninspired and lack any excitement. The graphics are only adequate. The cars themselves are ok, and control is ok, but the games AI is cheap as hell. In certain levels that is. I was way ahead of all the other cars and driving perfectly on one course, and the other cars managed to zoom by me w/o any of the power ups (you can see effects when they use em). The tornado weapon is pretty cool, but it doesn\'t save the game from being a flat Rush 2049 wanna be. I\'d recommend renting before buying if your interested in this game.  

(Opinions based on a total play time of 1hr 20 min.)

the game looked uninspired from day 1

a low budget, if it selld well will make an upgraded sequel type of game

with GT3 and Twisted Metal Black on the horizon who cares about most racers and car combat games IMO

Yup, and some games for the PC. Nice way to change the subject. ;)

The AI sounds like something from Super Mario Kart. ;)

What the hell did you expect when you bought an EA game? You didn\'t expect something innovative, inspired, original, and full of quality, did you?!?!?!?!

Thanx for the impression and reviews Ethugg:

I was thinking of getting this game before.

Not all EA games are mediocre, they are the one who built Need For Speed and Road Rash Series..both of these games are classic.

The topic was my impressions of Rumble Racing, not Kalisto. I wish you\'d stop implying things you aren\'t in a position to know about me.


Everyone else: I\'m glad I could help.
