In the name of the wee man....... That's a Scottish phrase that you associate with something that you deem as stupid, pointless, annoying, irritating which has got you frustrated and made you think "why?"
This game was made for just such a sentence. It is dross, terrible, guff, pointless, a complete waste of human resource and to top it all off, a big steaming pile of animal poo that has been pout in a bag, left in front of your telly, not just your front door and lit by the mystical powers of the gaming factions.
In case you hadn't already got the idea, this has got to be the most pointless game of 2016 so far. Why would you bother creating a game that is not only a rip off of every other twin stick Asteroids clone that's been about since the birth of humanity, but do it in a day of online gaming WITHOUT ONLINE SUPPORT? The fact is this is already restricted because you're limiting it to just pals round your house to get all the game modes out of it.
What if you're on your own and want to play the soccer game mode, or the pong variant who's name I cannot mention as it is a seriously offensive word? TOUGH, as you need more people and can't use online players. The strange thing is half of the game types allow single player with AI, so why not have this with all the other game modes?
Although, to be fair, every single mode in this feels the exact same. Grab your vehicle from a selection of movie and comic rip offs that noone cares to remember, and move it around with the controller, missing debris and getting shot all to easily by an AI who is a bloody deadeye.
There's no fun in this whatsoever. I played through as many game modes as possible and got bored very quickly. If someone can find the fun in this game then please let me know where it is as I must have lost mine with that famous pound down the back of the chair. The backdrops are bland, the cars are something from an AMIGA (ask your Dad) and the gameplay is just so chronic that you should take it round the back of the barn and click the shotgun trigger til it's head pops off.
Normally I'd be going on about all the intricacies of a game and come to a final conclusion, but I'm not gonna even waste your time. The two minute review video sums it all up well enough, but in case you have been kind enough to read this...... DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!
There really is no point to Hyperdrive Massacre, other than making you remember that game you've had sitting for nine months and forgotten about actually is not that bad, in an "anything to get away from this guff" kind of way. Buy anything else, even a bus ticket if you own a car, just don't get this.
