    A hollowed out experience that cant even be called a racing game, more of a "ramming" game. The game lacks any sort of the excitement or even sense of speed that can be found in titles like Motorstorm or DIRT. Playing with my roommate we were bored and felt the game was stale after the first night of gaming, beers didn't help.    … Expand

    The game looked exciting in the demos and previews but when you actually lay hands on it it’s all, well, a bit meh. It’s the motor `racing’ equivalent of a hamster roll ball that’s been fitted with go faster stripes and neon lights as there’s no finish line per se and the limited loop like nature of the game quickly becomes apparent.

    Fantastic game, but it's absolutely broken.

    Probably the worst "racing game" of the last 5-10 years.

    1st - Style: The style of the game is very hard to bear for people over 14 years. These embarrassing figures, the horrible music, these stupid dances, you could think that this is satire.
    2nd - Pacing: Pacing in the game is horrible. The makers absolutely didn't understand why the Crashcam was cool in Burnout. Here I have to watch forever how I crash due to a small stone in 4/5 cases due to mediocre physics. After that I can watch another timer ticking down and hope that I don't get placed unfavourably in a curve during respawn and crash instantly. But the worst thing is this completely irrelevant statistics presentation at the end of a race. For minutes I see idiotic AI riders who have done something supposedly great and therefore present their stupid dance. Click away? No way, go to the toilet, or make a coffee, or make a Power Nap.
    3rd - Game Design: A racing game without real races and then there are "races" you don't even have to win. If the task is to make 3 barrel rolls, then it doesn't matter at all whether I or my team pursue the racing goal at all.
    4th - AI: Sometimes okay, sometimes the worst racing games have ever seen.
    5th - Balancing: Completely broken. Some tasks are impossible to accomplish in a race/tournament, which is why some of these extremely boring races have to be driven several times.
    6th - WTF moments: I was just back in a race where you didn't give a damn about the mode/goal. Since I had fulfilled the task, I simply placed the controller next to me to wait until the AI won the race. Good idea? Not really. I was kicked because of inactivity...from a single player match? What were the developers thinking? Of course I was allowed to fulfill all the tasks again, after all I was kicked out of my own game and didn't finish it.

    Blind fanboys might say "ItS nOt A rAcInG gAmE". Yeah it might be a racing car combat whatsoever. But the "combat" aspect is even worse than the racing part. This game is neither worse your money nor your time. Even if you got it for free, DON'T waste your time with this digital rubbish.    … Expand

    Where to even begin with this one? I write this having reached level 400 and made platinum ace 1 on two of three seasonal ranked ladders.

I write this having reached level 400 and made platinum ace 1 on two of three seasonal ranked ladders.

    It has the ability to be a great game, and the visuals are quite nice. On rare occasions, you'll have some really great interplay with opponents during ranked seasons. But these little bits of good are drowned in a horrible mechanic designed to get you angry. The game even says so during one of the waitscreen texts.

    Online ranked play suffers badly because everyone of every skill level gets thrown into the same session. Ordinarily, this might make for a good time, except for the fact that higher-level players will find themselves artificially limited so that other players can progress. Even this mechanic is poorly implemented, and appears to have been done in the most infuriating manner possible: you will get taken out for no reason at all. I mean this in the most literal sense: I've been hit and made vulnerable, cleared that active vuln, only to wipe out on thin air. Repeatedly. Or I'll stick a particularly tricky landing, only to crash out in the empty raceway. Oh, and the game's servers will quit sometimes dropyour connection, nearly always after a ranked win, often leading to you being penalized a rank, which the game says is your connection, not theirs.

    Opponents don't even need to touch you if you're vulnerable: they often just get near you, and you're wrecked. The game's AI can't distinguish between you legitimately wrecking while heading in the same direction as your opponents (which is as common as breathing), so you'll get a "BAITED!' message even if you actually weren't. Your controls will suddenly and without warning go completely off (even without getting caught by one of the vehicle's special move that does exactly this (although you'll usually see THAT one coming)), leading to wrecks and being taken out, no matter your skill level and experience with the eight different vehicles. After all, the lower level opponents need to score wins too, but this happens at the expense of higher level players being taken out repeatedly. Oh, and everyone enjoys being dropped into a game in session, only to be immediately wiped out from an airborne opponent. Whoopsie! The devs are terribly sorry, but other players have to win, too, you know.

    It's almost as though the devs knew this, because one of the waitscreen tips and tricks is something like, "wrecking is all part and parcel of onrush! Get revenge and take out your opponent!" Sometimes you get to do this, if the game puts you in a situation where you can, but don't bet anything on it. It is, however, completely normal for the game to wreck you or take you out upwards of 15 times in a single session. Again, this has little to do with your skill, but rather what appears to be a "even playing field mechanic". The result of this is that, by looking at your wins/losses ratio screen, you're slightly more likely to lose a match than win, meaning that on average, you're just about as likely to win just by showing up as you are to lose and giving it every bit of skill, every time. If you're going to get taken out at any given second, there is little incentive to invest effort in any match. It just isn't worth the effort for online seasons.

    If you get this game for free, get the platinum from the non-online side of the game, then delete it. Otherwise, ignore this hot, nasty pile of garbage. Paying any amount for this game is to pay for a rage mechanic designed purposefully into the game.    … Expand

    they developers idea of progression is opening loot boxes that give you stupid shells and outfits who the **** cares about outfits? wouldn´t you rather get upgrades for your car? i mean tuning actual perfomance and not play dress up with your car. and i say car in the sibgular because the cars look different but they all drive the same so theres absutely no point.    … Expand

Los choques son inconsistentes, creo que es de ido por la conexión que tengas, aunque les des de lleno para ellos es como un empujón y a ti te destrozan. A veces apareces en mitad del grupo pero no tienes control sobre el coche durante unos segundos con lo que te quedas vendido ante los enemigos para que te arroyen. La conexión también es de chiste, no tienes a nadie cerca pero te registran un empujón que envía a la pared sin que puedas hacer nada, y los frenos no sirven. O te desconectan sin motivo aparente. Acabas con una frustración tremenda cuando intentas dar un golpe con el Rush pero no hace nada y a ti el mínimo roce te destruyen. Los desarrolladores han abandonado el juego, la última actualización fue en agosto del año pasado y no han añadido más skins que no salgan en los eventos, que son muy pocos.

    So, you can't skip scenes or recaps. It only has a few (8) vehicles and customizing them is purely cosmetic. I feel like I'm running the same 3 tracks with varying degrees of visibility.... Not sure how this game has scored as well as it has.
    The handles is solid for a while then you start to notice the perfect AI awareness.

    Onrush takes the most interesting elements of its older brothers but at the same time it tries to be its own game. However, the game can´t decide what it wants to be and the result corresponds with it. [Issue#287]

    What OnRush needs is tighter controls and physics. While you can get some impressive smash-downs, they’re mostly random, instead of being the result of planning and skill. [Issue#231, p.66]

    ONRUSH tries a number of new things with its team-based driving mechanics, and some aspects of this gamble pay off better than others. Its speed and mechanics are sound, but those looking for something a bit more traditional best approach with caution.
