    Roadkill is the s---. Its combination of vehicular-action and mission-based gameplay make it one of the most well designed cross-genre titles of the year.
  2. Game Over Online

    The overly simplistic gameplay, re-hashed visuals, unbalanced level design, and generic storyline all factor in to make this hybrid of yesteryears best selling, finest games, a low rent middle class knock off. Nevertheless, the sheer visceral excitement of blowing stuff up and witnessing ultra-violent, unapologetically brutal cut-scenes and road rage is hard to deny.
  3. Maxim Online

    Take one part "Grand Theft Auto" and one part car combat game "Twisted Metal Black." Mix, ingest, and vomit. Stare wistfully into bowl. What could have been a great game—car carnage with heavy artillery against gangs in cities devastated by a mysterious plague—is only mediocre.

    If you enjoy Twisted Metal Black 'AND' GTA then you'll love this game if you only like GTA, then you'll be dissapointed, it's more Twisted Metal with elements of GTA in it. If you enjoy both games, then this is a 9 out of 10 game for you.… Expand

    Something needs to be said up front - this game isn't mature. If you've often thought videogame women needed to be more expedable, and were confused by the twists and turns of any given Grand Theft Auto plot, then welcome aboard. Crank up the music, skip past the cinemas (you won't miss a thing), and make the hero drive through hookers like you're satan's lawnmower - there are no consequences. For those who can look past the 12 year old serial killer in training mentality, the gameplay is vintage car combat jousting. Rogue Trip vets may have more than a few flashbacks.… Expand
