Mayhem 3D

Mayhem 3D

Platform: PlayStation 3
March 25, 2011
Mayhem is a fast paced arcade racing and car destruction game. The inspiration for the game comes from two distinct types of events: Demolition Derby and Banger Racing. A demolition derby is more of an American pastime, primarily at state fairs and the like. Participants take an old beat down car, strip it of all the glass and other "dangerous" elements, spray paint the car and decorate it to their liking, then beat it to death at the main event. The last vehicle standing is the victor. A Banger Race is more practiced in the UK. Races take place on small courses with pits and hills, and drivers are encouraged to send their opponents off course. Courses can have hazards and obstacles, and the "figure 8" shaped course is a staple of the race. No matter whether it's Banger races or demolition derbys, the fact is that everyone love to see the everyman take it to the mat and come out a victor, and that's what Mayhem is all about.

The unparalleled physics engine and unexpected power-ups give you a level of control that you have to play to believe.

Mad Skills Motocross is fun for novices but deep enough for nearly endless competitive high-level play. You’ll need to master wheelies, stoppies, nitro, rocket boots, backflips, front flips, and much more to truly be the best. See what players of the desktop version of Mad Skills Motocross have known for years: it’s the best side-scrolling motocross game ever made. Get it today! Features: * Compete on 52 tracks, from easy to very technical * Compete in Career or Time Attack modes * Use five different power-ups to find faster ways through tracks * Send “ghosts” to your friends to race via OpenFeint Challenges * Race “ghosts” of your own or your friends’ best times * Watch replays of your best races * Rub in victories over friends on Facebook and Twitter * Dominate the OpenFeint leaderboards * Collect OpenFeint achievements “My favorite part about Mad Skills Motocross is the excellent physics in the game. There are so many subtle nuances with how you're able to lean on your bike when accelerating and taking jumps that it adds a lot of skill and strategy to how you race. It's very organic, and the gameplay just feels right.” - Jared Nelson / TouchArcade.com Check out what some of our volunteer beta testers had to say about Mad Skills Motocross: Motocross legend and four-time champion Jeff Emig, via @emig47 on Twitter: “Ok.
