Smash Cars

It’s a teeny Burnout! Or a giant Micro Machines. Sort of, anyway. Smash cars is a simple ‘boost, stunt, and jump’ racer with fat-wheeled monster trucks and bright shiny graphics. The handling is lo-fi, but fun (think the RC car minigames from Grand Theft Auto) and the stunt system is dead simple. ...

"There is fun to be had in Smash Cars. Racing around the rich environments and pulling a few flips while speeding your way to victory is satisfying and enjoyable. Unfortunately, Smash Cars doesn't give you enough opportunity to just enjoy it. Limited tracks, finicky physics, and poor car variety limit the appeal of single-player races. Racing against other people can be entertaining, but you'll have to depend on the desolate online community to show up and challenge you. With more fuel in the tank, Smash Cars could have been a success, but unfortunately, it just runs out of gas too soon."

"If there's one thing that the PlayStation Network does not have a shortage of (outside of tower defense games, of course), it's racing titles based around driving little cars and vehicles. Add yet another one to the mix as we now have Smash Cars to play, an RC racer of sorts from TikGames-Creat Studios. It's a return (or reboot, perhaps) to the franchise that Creat created on the PS2 back in 2003, and it fortunately managed to keep a lot of the elements that made it fun intact."
