Children’s idols are a sore and complex topic, which is better not to talk about without a good reason. It is much easier to reach out to be uncomplicated by an excessive amount of information – it is from here that the legs of the statements in the spirit of “before the grass were green” grow from here. However, we have the reason to turn the past today, and her name is Insane 2.
I am all 95% sure that most of those who read these lines are now perplexedly raising your eyebrows and ask themselves: “And it was the first insane? And what is it at all?”It is for such people that the next paragraph.
So, the original “madness” came out in 2001 from the pen of the company Invictus. It was an off -road lawless simulator at the means of movement from the ATV to the huge eight -wheeled truck “Hippo”. Insane then jumped beyond her time: extensive cards without clear boundaries;A huge number of different means of transportation;magnificent models of damage and machine control;huge selection of competitive modes;Excellent, dynamic soundtrack and quite adequate artificial intelligence.
Before starting the race, the camera makes a spectacular flight of the track, and the text on the screen explains the rules of the upcoming race.
We will go, we will rush ..
Let’s start, perhaps, with the main thing for such a game – with cars. Various vehicles are presented to the choice of about twenty – from a small racing buggy to a rally truck “imprisoned” for off -road competitions. The cars are painted and simulated excellent, and especially authentically, they begin to look a minute on the second or third race, when almost the entire body along with scratches is covered with dirt or snow.
The cars are divided into four classes, however, the division is quite conditional, and cars open exclusively in turn, and not in groups, as it was before. Castomization and setting are very arbitrary and include a couple of paint work and a store of improvements, where you can upgrade individual parts of the iron horse to the received points.
There are only four global locations: North America, Europe, Africa and Antarctica. Within each of them there are a number of tracks on which we have to compete. Here we must pay tribute to the designers – the cards turned out good and diverse even within the framework of one region. The number of different objects pleases the eye, and the fact that most of them have physical properties are doubly pleased. True, the tractors, brushing the North American highway, and rhinos, dissecting the African expanses, this list is not included.
About the deciduous urgent
But in general with physics in Insane 2 Big problems. Take at least machine management. This, excuse me, is something beyond good and evil. On the one hand, it seems to be clear that Arkada is not a simulator, but on the other-the behavior of the car loses even some GTA 3. Firstly, there is practically no feeling of mass of what you steer. The brisk buggy is controlled by a little lighter than a monster track, and this is with a colossal difference of these machines. And no one has heard about the clutch and suspension and even more so. This is extremely regrettable, because only thanks to the interaction of the wheels with the ground can you convey the feeling that you are going not on asphalt, but on slippery dirt, viscous sand, soft snow or any other coating.
But damage – quite at the level of the already mentioned part GTA, Well, that is, they are no good by today’s standards. Wouldn’t they have a game about mass accidents, clashes and gnashing metal for metal. That’s what CTF (the struggle for the flag, if someone is not in the course) on jeeps without rams and kisses “forehead in the forehead”? That’s it.
The regimes themselves migrated from the original almost unchanged. True, one of the most funny was missing – the “destruction zone”, and its place was taken by the not very clear pursuit of the helicopter.
True, chasing computer blanks in any mode is boring. The scenario of the passage of almost any competition, whether it is a “plot campaign” or a single race for our pleasure: for several minutes we slowly take the first place, and the rest of the time – we keep it quietly. Sensation of the call, “Challenge” no. What was more affected by – dumb artificial intelligence or primitive management – I will not dare, but the fact remains.
I could not find living opponents. How many times I entered the network game – so many times came out of there with nothing. Through the servers are not found, and no one began to join me. Quiet and surface. And this after (at that time) almost two weeks after the release!
Unfortunately, p Insane 2 It turned out far from so cool as the few fans of the first part would like a few. For each obvious plus, there is no less obvious minus with ease, and if you take into account Insane, then everything becomes very sad. And indeed
, if you want to drive off -road, have fun and have a good time in the machine company, my advice to you – install the first Insane. Let the graphics are worse there, but everything else is cooler. And at times.
Pros: good graphics;locations;music.
Cons: Armory physics of driving and clashes;Dull opponents.
