Mashed (XBox)

Mashed - If you've ever played Circuit Breakers and loved it, you'll definitely love this. It is a bit like a sequel to Circuit Breakers. In most of the game, it is a top-down racer. The graphics are good, there are loads of cool weapons and piles of tracks set in high snowy mountains, busy motorways, stormy industrial areas, beach areas, coal mines, etc. There are 13 tracks and 13 cool cars. In Single Player mode, you can choose to do the Challenge Cup, Quick Battle or Time-Trial. Some of the 1 player challenges and Time Trial don't have the top-down view but have a normal 'Chase' view instead. The Challenge Cup has 3 challenges per track which you unlock as you go along. However, most of the challenges tend to be easy enough and quick enough. Some, however, are quite tricky but passable. In Multiplayer mode, you can choose either 'Battle Mode', 'Fugitive Mode' and 'Capture the Flag'mode. Another feature of Multiplayer is that when you are put out of the race/battle you get control of a missile launcher on a helicopter so you can lock-on to opponents and blast them off the track. There is only light damage on the car. The front and back of your cars can go up in flames and lose part of the body and your windows can smash.

The game is addictive and lots of fun when playing against or in teams with friends.

The weapons include Rocket Launchers, mines, Mortar launcher, explosive barrels, oil slicks and many more.
