Via Coolinfo kwam ik op deze Redline review terecht. Hier een stukje:
The player, that is, you, plays the role of a new member of the Company, a gang whose history in the Battle Wheels universe is legendary. (It’s interesting how the Atari Lynx’ classic comes back in the form of posters and asides in Redline – but after all, Beyond Games did make it, so it’s little wonder) The gang went through some hard times, and is experiencing difficulties with rival gangs. Fresh blood is needed, which is where you come in – and you’re their best hope.
The game isn’t hard to pick up at all. The controls aren’t complex, and what’s relatively neat is that the game introduces diving, which you can only perform when outside the car. Basically, it’s like strafing, but for a longer distance (the screen doesn’t rotate, though). I hope we’ll see more and more of this, because that’s something that should be taken for granted – after all, there isn’t only strafing in the world. There aren’t two pages of buttons, either – movement, fire, aiming and that’s about all. Surprising is the fact that crouch is missing, though. Also, while the normal controls are pretty responsive, I believe strafing needs a slight improvement in sensitivity, as the way it is right now it’s pretty useless because it’s so slow.
