Alex Unleashed on Cars

Issue 1- The very first one and it’s a great way to start, the cover and the story about trying to get every new car in Britain on the front is an impressive feat in of itself, even if Ferrari refused to lend any of their cars.

What a way to start things.

Issue 21- The big test is the Ferrari F355 vs Porsche 911 Turbo that takes us across Thruxton and Brunting...

The network test had three gameplay options, Grand Prix, Time Trial and Online. Since online gameplay is kind of the lifeblood of games now, I focussed my attention there. In short, it’s very good. Whilst the Grand Prix only let you play the first GP, online did allow you to race on some other tracks, so the game didn't feel too repetitive, though through trailers ...
