Nice with some 3d graphics for a change, but the game was completely unplayable. |

Of course I have PyGame installed. I have tested almost all the other games correctly.

Pretty cool. I think the racing camera should be a bit wider, because I constantly get disoriented. I like the fact that you have a broad choice of cars and tracks. |

The AI seemed to be able to go much faster than me (maybe I was doing it wrong). I am of the opinion that if you're going to do 3D, you've got to do it well; and IMO this was pretty ugly. Some dodgy physics as well. |

Car is quite hard to control, detracts from the rest of the gameplay, including the twister element. |

It was, let's say contemporary looking, with the animated menus and such. The graphics were nice looking statically, and set a stormy mood, but animation wasn't that great: the cars never looked like they were moving. The motion didn't feel realistic, either; but good dynamics is hard. Frame rate is much improved for me, but wildly variable. This game has good potential, but lots of room for improvement. |

Nice idea, not much to do with the theme of the competition, I think. A polished production. |

the idea with the hurrican influencing the way "cars" move is original. but the controls dont work at all for me. the are a bit
"twitchy", they seem to react too fast. dont know how do explain it.
all in all it works, but could have used more playtesting. i found it too hard. |

The menu raised my expactations of the game quite high, it was very nice with cool vehicles to choose between. However, the actual game was to hard to play. I first randomly selected the onion car on the desert map, and that was not a simple car to steer, and the map was like a big yellow plane :D Then I tried the "normal" one on the first, and it was a bit easier but still too hard. Don't know exactly but I think the steering toghether with the camera caused it. |

The camera position made it hard to see the track in front of the car. |

The steering is strange and I couldn't get warm with any of the camera views. It wasn't really fun to play because I hardly could tell where I was going (my epic war against the camera) and I'm quite sorry to say that. The game is very, very promising (the cars, the tracks are very nice) - the controls just lack a little fine-tuning. |

Steering a car with a keyboard isn't the most satisfying of experiences. |
