    PixelJunk Racers is a basic game, not basic in the sense that it's easy to pick the game up (but it is) but basic in the sense that the game can be a little bit too boring.

    Multiplayer is certainly better than single-player (the more people, the better), but it suffers from the same pileups and limited variety. Considering how impractical it is to set up a full multiplayer game offline, it's ridiculous that the game's only online feature is comparing scores and leaderboards.

The difficulty is a bit high in single player and requires very sharp reflexes to do well, but play it for a while and you'll understand what it's all about. The game supports up to 7 players in multiplayer, which is where the game really comes alive. Fireball racer with 3 or 4 other players is an experience not to be missed - it's just a shame that with the simple controls there is no option to have two players on one pad like Micro Machines for the Megadrive. PS3 controllers are expensive! A nice little game that fans of high speed twitch action should enjoy. Due to the low price point and uniqueness of the gameplay I highly recommend it.… Full Review »
