Power up to faster cars, get the edge with getaway gadgets and outrun the cops as you speed to the state line.SMASH EVERYTHINGWell, almost. Whichever route you take through an ever-changing world of dirt tracks and dusty logging towns you can crash and bash your way through smashable scenery in the most intense display of destruction you have ever seen.

    With lots to do, plenty of unlockables, and tons of explosive destruction, Smash Bandits represents the fundamental reasons why gamers love games. It’s an incredibly solid driver with spot-on physics, flawless controls, and the exhilaration that comes with outrageous destruction.

    The only major problem with Smash Bandits' approach is the energy mechanic, which limits you to five plays in a short amount of time, forcing you to either wait or spend in-game chips to keep playing. Thankfully, chips are given out a decent amount, and playing it in short spurts is an excellent way to go about runs.

    Smash Bandits is a fun, compelling, highly spectacular freemium racing game.

    Smash Bandits can be fun in small bursts, but is hampered by all the more cynical hallmarks of freemium design.

    Like earlier games in the series, Smash Bandits is a funny old thing all things considered. It controls like a dream, it looks wonderful, and yet there's no meat to the gameplay, and nothing that makes you feel compelled to do better the next time around. No doubt it's fun for a time, but there wasn't enough to keep us engaged for the long run.

    Go ahead and replay Smash Cops or Smash Cops Heat, but Smash Bandits feels like a wrong turn for the series.

    Fun is one word to certainly describe Smash Bandits. You can literally hit litter and traffic without taking damage. The game's graphics areFun is one word to certainly describe Smash Bandits. You can literally hit litter and traffic without taking damage. The game's graphics are nice, and the power-ups, though expensive, are a good aid. However, vehicle variety is generally limited, and how do you take damage, you ask? By scraping on the side of a lousy building. Plus, everything in the game is SO EXPENSIVE!!!

    However, if you want to get a sick thrill of a street racing game, Smash Bandits MUST be considered.    … Expand
