Fatal Inertia EX surprised me one day when I went on to the PSN. I had not seen or heard anything about it but was looking for something to tide me over until the release of Wipeout HD. I will admit my expectations were not overly high but this has become one of my most played games lately. Easy to pick up and good for a quick blast every now and again. But lets look at it in a wee bit more detail.
BASIC GAMEPLAY
Okay so the basic game play is similar to Wipeout. Racing around a circuit style track using anti-grav race craft and picking up weapons or other items by going over a little pad. There are numerous ways of playing the game. Single player has quick race or career mode. Career mode is competing in numerous leagues, of increasing difficulty, to unlock items in the garage. Multiplayer is the basic online player versus player or splitscreen on the one PS3 with 1-4 players supported. But to make it a little bit more interesting there are numerous ways to actually race set before the race begins. Ranging from flat out speed to my favourite magnet mayhem where you build up an amount of magnets every couple of seconds to disperse on the other racers as you see fit but more on magnets a little bit later.
