    I would have given this game a score of 5 or even a 6 generouslly if it wasn't for the fact that it now costs $12. I bought it when it was $5 and for the price alone, I thought it was passable. The presentation was okay, the characters looked good, and the gameplay does have some neat mechanics to it. However, the music is nothing to write home about, there are only 6 playable charactersI would have given this game a score of 5 or even a 6 generouslly if it wasn't for the fact that it now costs $12. I bought it when it was $5 and for the price alone, I thought it was passable. The presentation was okay, the characters looked good, and the gameplay does have some neat mechanics to it. However, the music is nothing to write home about, there are only 6 playable characters whose stats barely change that much, there are a few bugs here and there (especially in the 2nd track), and of course, there's only two tracks in the game. The only other content the game has is a co-op mode. No leaderboards, no time trial, nothing.Honestly, if it stayed on the price of $5, I would have given the game a pass, but the fact that they increased it for no reason baffles me. The game is just not worth $12 even if you are looking for something similar to F Zero or Wipeout. It's a glorified demo at best. Also, the game was part of the Playstation Talents, so that could explain its low quality. Regardless, I would have been soft on it if it remained on a cheaper price. As is? I would only recommend the game if it gets priced at a price of less than 10 at a sale. Expand

    I want to have faith that Ion Driver is a proof of concept for something bigger and better from Gammera Nest, but what currently exists is less of a test of racing skill and more of a test of patience for a futuristic racing enthusiast. The lack of content, inconsistent hit detection, and buggy racing experience will leave you disappointed. You will see everything Ion Driver has to offer within a few minutes of playing the game, so don’t expect an experience of progression, futuristic and high-speed racing, nor skill.

    With only two tracks and a non-exaggerated game completion time of ten minutes, suggesting Ion Driver is a barebone experience would be an understatement. This initially attractive racer does nothing to further the futuristic racing genre, or do anything to make an impact beyond the nagging feeling of disappointment which permeates throughout. The experience is plagued by bugs, poor collision detection and far too many broken promises to count. Avoid.
