    An addictive mixture of fast-paced vehicular combat that combines a fluid arcade feel with vivid graphics, making it yet another worthwhile addition to the growing library of Xbox Live Arcade titles.

    Whether you prefer the eight-player Live free-for-all or the strictly linear single player campaign, Novadrome delivers a spartan but reasonably attractive vehicular-combat experience with just enough bells and whistles to justify its $10 download. [Jan. 2007, p.74]

    It might run smoothly and offer a half-dozen modes, but Novadrome is the type of sterile, seen-it-all-before mid pack performer that there was no reason to produce. [Issue 21, p.57]

    After seeing screenshots and video of this game, I had high hopes for Novadrome. Unfortunately, this game is trying to be all things to all people, and falling short on each. Maybe if Novadrome focused on one thing (the racing has the most potential in my opinion), it could become something great - instead of many things average. Save your money.… Expand
