I typically don't get along with "realistic" racing games, but I'll love any good racer that does something a little over-the-top. This is why I am somewhat drawn to Nail'd, a new bike racing game from Southpeak Interactive. It trades in realistic physics for sheer speed, and surprisingly it works out quite well.
Read about some of the practical experience Nail '\\' r .
Nail'dis, in essence, ATVs zooming through the mud and getting into all sorts of silly high speed. Realism was abandoned in favor of an incredibly high jumps, riding on the roofs of cars, and faster than anyone else. Its controls are standard, you don 't have to worry about how to drifting, and in general Nail'doccurs as the racing title for people who usually don 't like racing games. It 's pretty cool, actually.
I do not drive t ', and I hate having to worry about the realistic physics of driving in my racing games. If I wanted realistic driving experience, I 'D to get a real car. Nail'd most definitely appeals to somebody like myself, a person who enjoys the speedy thrills of a racing title, but doesn't really want anything else.
Aside from the racing, the only other thing to be concerned about is a boost meter and the tricks required to fill it. Filling the boost is fairly simple -- you pull off certain easy tricks, such as jumping through hoops of flame, landing well after a big jump, or even landing on an opponent's head. The boost fills up pretty quickly, meaning you'll always have a reserve of extra speed nearby. It's pretty essential too, as Nail'd can wind up pretty difficult if you're not paying attention.
Steering is important, especially in the air, where you have to try and land without hitting anything dangerous. Crashing is a regular part of Nail'd, but the excess boost always gives you a fighting chance. With so much to avoid and watch out for, it's pleasant to note that the steering is really responsive and forgiving, again driving home the theme of not having to worry about anything other than the pure racing aspect.
My time with Nail'd was brief but encouraging. It's not the most refined racer out there, but it's very fast and it's pretty damn fun, which is what really matters at the end of the day. There's not really much else that needs to be said.
