Post apocalyptic mayhem

PAM its a game set in an apocalyptic future of the world, where you drive different type of cars prepared to battle.
In the game you drive a buggy or a truck loaded with weapons, avoiding your opponents attempts to destroy you on the tracks.
The races are really short and lack of excitement, you may race until the time runs out, and the objective of the game is to destroy your opponents as many times as you can, it doesnt matter if you finish the race first.
The tracks look like they were taken out from a postwar borderland. They take place in the city, desert, theres destroyed planes, highways and buildings. There is only 3 tracks with some alternate routes in each track, but after a few races they become boring and predictable.

It offers only two racing modes, the Arcade mode and the Apocalyptic challenge, the difference between them… almost non-existant, in the Arcade mode you race in a track against five AI, in the Challenge mode you do the same but in every track.

The game lacks of mayhem, cars, tracks and guns, also the different cars do not have any disadvantage compared to the terrains, the physics of the game its really weird any car from the lightest to the heaviest can do some good jumps and turn pretty good (By the way, you can try… but the cars wont drift at all), also the cars can turn in the midair and correct the course to land were you need to.

The AI its completely pathetic, their attempts to destroy you in every of the levels usually miss you, and their driving skills are bad, really bad.

Its a game you should not play, its boring, lacks of variety, fun, and does not fullfill the point of the game. (2/10)
