    PAM - Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is cool, but way too short.

    Entertaining, but flawed; just like its mythological counterparts! [June 2011, p.71]

    Though not being full-featured, or even sort of featured, PAM is only $9.99, so it's hard to come down on it with a vengeance. In fact, it's quite a bit of fun.

    This short ride's definitely a lemon. [June 2011, p.72]

  1. Great game for that price.i had pure fun playing this game.They improved the game a lot.the only thing is the collision checking thats why it don't get a 10 from me.otherwise great game , great ppl to play with.
    Maybe a little more tracks and race options if you are hosting.Its feel good to fly and stunt with a car like in this game.Its good to let off some steam after a hard days work.

    The game is awesome. I was kind of separated at start but after a free weekend it was a must buy. Single player is pure fun, but on still kind of easy on medium. The cars are all well balanced. The large ones with strong weapons are less handy and slow. The smaller ones with weaker weapons are faster and more agile. The four tracks which ship with the game are well balanced and really good designed. The coolest and also the weakest point of this game is the multiplayer. When there are games going on it's a pleasure to play. Sadly the amount of games vary and sometimes there are also no games available. But as long as you play multiplayer you will enjoy this game like hell. Expand
  3. Saw it on Steam, it was cheap for $9.99, said what the hell, bought a 3-pack purchase for $20.00, and gave the other 2 copies to friends. Short and sweet - its a fun game, like a cross between Twisted Metal and Mario Kart, lap track racing with colored weapon pickups like in Mario Kart, but in the form of barrels, and it "weapons" are of Twisted Metal inspiration. The downfall of this game is that its very limited, only 6 vehicles to choose from, that aren't very well balanced in offense/defense/power/speed, one vehicle in particular is extremely over powered, but it moves like a tank, if you get stopped, good luck catching up. Also, there are tiny glitches and track edges that literally stop your vehicle of all momentum thus losing your position, and instead of trying to kill your enemies, you end up playing catch up just to finish the race...with only 6 vehicles, 3 tracks and very limited game modes, it would be worth purchasing for $5.00 honestly... Although I said this game was fun, and it is! its only worth purchasing if you can convince 5 more friends to get it as well, and have fun playing this with friends from time to time...I only say this because the games search mode is faulty and it makes it almost pure luck to join in on someone online unless you're already friends playing this together. I give PAM 6 for a mildly entertaining game among friends, playing this by yourself or trying to find random opponents online is just boring. If this game had more support, more vehicles, more maps, MORE EVERYTHING, it would be well worth purchasing. Expand

    This is a very mixed game. It has potential for being really entertaining racing game; imagine Carmageddon combined with Fallout world, sounds good right? But the potential ends fast with complete lack of content. Just 3 tracks, and one way of racing which could be improved, too. It took me something like 25 minutes to beat the game (with 1st try) one medium level. Replay value? Pretty much zero.

    It's truly a shame, because the environment looks very nice, fallout'like - and racing in the post apocalyptic setting is quite fun in itself. But the game itself is a complete torso. I paid ~5 euros for it through Steam (50% discount price) and it feels like even that was waste of money. DLC pack adds few cars, nothing else.
