    Hyperdrive Massacre understands what it is, and plays to its strength of frenetic multiplayer action to perfection.

    Characterized by an 80's look, Hyperdrive Massacre is a hectic and bizarre space car battle party game; with friends - and multiple controllers - at home it becomes very absorbing and thrilling, but otherwise it won't have much use due to lack of online multiplayer support.

    Hyperdrive Massacre is a good game to start a nightlong session. It’s a good way to loosen everyone up or play while waiting for everyone else to arrive.

    Although single-player options are available, Hyperdrive Massacre comes to life when two to four players cram close together in front of a large television screen. The solid, bright visuals, tongue-in-cheek feel, and retro sound all demand that the television get switched on and the extra pads be brought out during small parties. It's a blast to experience with others, not so much on your own.

    It is a local multiplayer highly competitive and frenetic game. It has 6 game modes from the standard Deathmatch to the more precise Deathrace. The Space Soccer mode is terrific, it's rocketleague 2d but more frenetic and enjoyable. Love it!
    It's easy to play but hard to master. At the beginning you may experience some difficulties to get the car straight because of the zero friction and gravity, but after 10-15 minutes you will start feeling the controls and the game unleash all the fun, expecially with friends.

    The only downside of the title is the lack of online multiplayer, but in a title born for local multiplayer like this I think it's not a big problem. You will enjoy more bully your friends sit on the same couch like in the old coin up school, than the mr nobody online. I miss the 80's...

    I want to mention also an outstanding "New retro wave" soundtrack and the colorful retro gaming atmosphere of the graphics.

    Conclusion: if you are trying to find a game to play with your friends during a party and have some serious fun buy it!    … Full Review »
