I really enjoyed the single mission and operations modes. Here, you can set up parameters however you want, from objectives and map type, to squad sizes and weapon firing modes. You can then set up one or two squads to take on the mission,…

Whilst none of the trucks seem to handle differently, they’re all visually distinct. Scratch Attack has a full on cat motif and Demo Derby looks like a giant stock car. They look nicely detailed and all have their own unique special move…

I hope you like dub-step and dub-step equivalent music. Every song is very intense and falls into categories that could easily be described as adjacent to that genre. They certainly fit the theme of the world around you as you’re flying…

There’s a greater element of progression here than in other games in the genre too. Your goal is to complete just six loops successfully, at which point you’ll find yourself in a new environment, tasked with the same job. The new area means…
