Err.. a correction here, I don't wreck the game, this game -is- a wreck, more on this down below. Upon launching the game, we are greeted with a very nice intro with music and pictures of (well, going into the credits) the developers having fun, eating pizza, goofing around and there's even a super-cute picture of a bulldog in there - how adorable! All serves as nice 2000s nostalgia. However the good news stops there regarding this game.

What is supposed to be a sequel to Screamer 1 and 2 (or maybe a side-sequel as now I remember there might be another Screamer game somewhere) which supposedly takes us wheeling into the off-roads territories, all which sound like a great idea. Since the first Screamer games were on race tracks, why not take the 3rd one off-tracks? But the whole execution of the game is a big wreck of a mess. The cars (well you only get 2 cars), control like a sack of bricks which keeps pulling and dragging you backward and funnily enough you cannot drive in reverse with your jeep. I looked in-depth at the controls and I couldn't figure out how to go in reverse, so if you're stuck somewhere it's restart the whole stage - unacceptable! As you can see in this video, I played for a while and after that I saw no point anymore and just was done with it.

I don't want to talk too much about the negatives of this game, because there are simply too many and you can just watch for yourselves, but this just feels like beta software which didn't go anywhere. Also all the tracks look the same, like a sort of a golf course with bushes and you can barely see where you're going or supposed to go because you can't see the drive-through markers. Perhaps the developers spent too much goofing off and not actually working on this game and this turned out like that. Or perhaps they played around too much with that bulldog lol. But whatever the case may be, this game is not good and not playable. I give it a 4/10 gems, with 1 gem given to the bulldog, which I rather play with myself LOL than play this wreck of a title.
