Rivals don’t have the sharpest AI, merely following humans and making themselves bothersome.
Impressive foundation aside, 1NSANE is not without flaws. You score points by placing in events once a high enough tally is racked up, you graduate into another class of challenges and unlock new cars. Completing an initial trial opens more play variations and locales for your enjoyment. In solo mode, a grid full of themed contests beckons lone road warriors. Quality craftsmanship also shines within the title’s architecture. Although all vehicles feature unique handling attributes, they slip, slide, roll over, and crumple like home console roadsters. The physics model also follows this train of thought, with fun squarely touted above realism. Gameplay is classic arcade style zaniness drivers wrestle for control of flags, rush through checkpoints, or smash into each other mercilessly. While a realistically plausible learning curve lurks in the shadows, you won’t find championship competitions or quick races monkey-wrenched by an overwhelming attention to detail.
The game easily earns its immigration papers by sporting a sexier, user-friendlier spin on off-road romping. Though an ealy entry in a long line of European imports, this is a game that serious off-road fans shouldn’t overlook. With racing games like 4×4 Evolution or Midtown Madness making the rounds, a little gem from Codemasters called 1NSANE could well slip through the cracks.
