I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Join me in this series while I try out EACH of the video games in the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE, before I die. The game review for each game will focus on the question of whether you MUST play this game before you die. But to be honest, the game review parts are just for fun, and are not meant to be definitive, in depth reviews; this series is more about the YouTube gamer journey itself. From Mario games to the Halo series, from arcade games to Commodore 64, PC games to the NES and Sega Genesis, Playstation to the Xbox, let's play those classic retro games that we grew up with, have fond memories of, or heard of but never got a chance to try! And with that said, the game review for today is...
Mashed
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashed
Mashed is a vehicular combat racing video game developed by Supersonic Software. The game was originally released in Europe for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows in June 2004. An updated version with additional features, titled Mashed: Fully Loaded in Europe and Drive to Survive internationally, was released in Europe in March 2005 and in North America in December 2006. The direct sequel Wrecked: Revenge Revisited was released in 2012.
While the game allows four-player multiplayer, the PlayStation 2 only natively supported two controllers. Since the game used so few buttons, the PlayStation 2 version uniquely allows two people to share a controller - one player would use the D-pad and the left stick, the other would use the colored buttons and the right stick. The game supports the PS2 multi tap for four players
Mashed received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms except the PlayStation 2 version of the Fully Loaded edition, which received "generally favourable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[14][15][16][17][18] Andy Young of VideoGamer.com called the Xbox version "A great multiplayer game. One of the best in recent memory."[19] Some American publications gave the game a review over a month after the Fully Loaded edition was released in Europe, but nearly two years before it was released in North America.[5][9][11] In Japan, where the PS2 version of the Fully Loaded edition was ported under the name Simple 2000 Series Ultimate Vol. 28: Bōsō! Kenka Grand Prix, Drive to Survive (SIMPLE 2000 シリーズ アルティメット Vol.28 闘走！喧嘩グランプリ 〜Drive to Survive〜, Sinpuru 2000 Shirīzu Arutimatto Vol. 28: Bōsō! Kenka Gurando Puri 〜Doraibu tū Sabaibu〜) and published by D3 Publisher on 15 December 2005,[20] Famitsu gave it a score of two sixes, one five, and one four for a total of 21 out of 40.
