Link to what it's all about.
One of the most original genre-busting games I have ever played, Vangers is a unique and captivating blend of action, racing, strategy, and even adventure elements that result in a compelling experience. As Bob Mandel of Adrenaline Vault exclaims in his review: "...this game is like no other I have ever played before. Although no single element of the game is completely new, its combination of racing, combat, conversation, and trading makes it seem absolutely without precedent. When adding in its complex storyline and unorthodox interface to its hybrid gameplay, even a seasoned game reviewer like myself feels like an awkward novice ripping the shrink wrap from my very first computer game."
Sounds good to me. I enjoy genre busting because I can't stand genre anymore. Anyone tried it?

The Gamespot seems to disagree.

But let's forget the wacky words: Often you don't need to understand fully what they mean, and some folks might even like the style. Here's the deal - even though I dragged myself back to this thing for hour after hour, I never began to approach a level of fun that would make me want to fire it up for any reason other than to give it a fair shake. A lot of gamers have described Vangers as unlike anything they've played; that's because they paid too much attention to the weird language and didn't notice that fundamentally it's not much different from a dozen other games that put you in the cockpit of a heavily armed car of some type.
I remember it from a NextGeneration review which condemned it for being too needlessly confusing. Sadly there is no more NextGeneration. If anything this praise on Underdogs makes me curious.
BTW, nice to see Caltrops back. |
