    Even a couple of odd design decisions don't get in the way of the high-octane thrills here, thankfully. [Issue#253, p.70]

    Despite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps. The excellent originalDespite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps. The excellent original Playstation Mobile was a fast game where you tried to beat certain times to progress. For some reason they ruined the game by making progression by gathering orbs from this inexplicable horrible free 3D sections that occur mid way through a level.

    Switch Galaxy Ultra is an endless runner in which the player has to steer (or more accurately switch) their spaceship between up to five lanesSwitch Galaxy Ultra is an endless runner in which the player has to steer (or more accurately switch) their spaceship between up to five lanes in order to avoid obstacles, collect orbs and hit boost pads. As with plenty of other PS+ offerings over the last year or so this is another title that would be fine played in shorts bursts while sitting on the train or bus but, with the wealth of alternatives available on modern consoles, I never felt the urge to invest all that much time in it. The gameplay is just too simplistic and, even with the upgrades that can be made to your ship(s), it doesn’t evolve in any meaningful way from start to finish.… Full Review »
