Sledgehammer

Sledgehammer
Jack's path was to have ended the same way as the life of any undistinguished criminal - a death sentence and the shameful execution in the gas chamber. However, Jack unexpectedly lucky - at the whim of a senior master, he gets life. But it is not freedom - work will grace the cartridge, performing its various tasks. To newly-boy for not sharpened these same errand, in his head sets a bomb (judging from the behavior of the hero of free space there oh how many!), Which, if something goes wrong, immediately explode. However, our little Jack wild, because rapidly spinning out of control and unleashes the real war against all. To be honest, the story presented in badly made commercials - as a fifth wheel to the cart: the main character - a featureless block regularly whooping okolonepechatnoe, and cardboard villains falsely broadcast husky voices rare heresy.

Sledgehammer, however trite it may sound, takes gameplay. We manage not some rickety passenger car, and a demonic truck, which makes the "ordinary" cars from the road on a one-two. As traffic on the roads close, the race always turn into a nightmare of any GIBDD'shnika - your truck flies forward like a bowling ball, scattering "dummies" like skittles, breaks all around, and generally satisfied with the local Armageddon.

An important nuance - an infernal machine, not only knows how to drive fast, but can at any moment be transformed into something resembling a jet tank. Click the button, and your "civilian" vehicles bristling with machine guns, laser guns and terrible form an electric saw, which is very convenient to cut the opponents, like tin cans.

In the races race should not be squeamish - push rivals, even beating the walls. Fewer people are known to be more oxygen. For destroyed cars mere mortals awarded bonus points. So safely merge onto the oncoming and - sneakers on the floor.
Of course, the truck can be upgraded in every way. After each mileage level you become available to a new improvement - particularly powerful machine gun, homing missiles, reinforced armor and so on. Any commodity-money relations in the Sledgehammer not, so that upgrades are earned only by success in races. Made their way to the second or third place - for the best prizes do not count here only award winners. This approach leads to the blue in the face replay levels until you get the gold. Still, the chance to entertain vrazhin pair of brand new missiles will not want to miss.

Many types of competitions. Here the usual arrivals on time for Checkpoint (did not have time to get to another point - have to start all over again), and simple pokatushki with rivals, as well as a number, so to speak, destructive competition. The most interesting - the race for survival and the battle arena. The first option should rush forward, shooting from all sides settle their enemies. It's simple - the further in such a hostile environment will pass, the more valuable will be the reward.

Sledgehammer Pedigree Truck
Many people think post-apocalyptic avtoboevik Ex Machina main game Targem Games. It told us chilling story of how a UFO crashed on Earth, after which the planet has spread poison gas, and all those who in time has not had time to put on special masks, were killed in order not to strain his facial expressions animators responsible for the character's face. The hero chased by a huge location on the worst trucks, carried out different tasks, and regularly engages in the battle with the wicked. Allowed in every possible way to improve your operations, hanging new weapons, armor and so on. After continuing «Ex Machina: Meridian 113" targemovtsy decided to slightly deviate from the "free" of the genre and released a "lite» Ex Machina Arcade with a clear division into levels and a linear passage. True, the game does not quite managed to break away from the roots and it was neither one thing nor the other. But perhaps it is Ex Machina Arcade can be called a direct ancestor Sledgehammer.

The stronger of the truck armor, the more difficult to destroy it. Battle of the arenas are always turned into some unrealistic carnage.
The second fun at all for people strong in spirit - you fill up a relatively small arena and make a minute to beat off the armada of enemy vehicles. In yet another fun attraction to, driving a toy car, put it on a busy highway and pick up in the air as much as possible the opposing coach. And time is limited thirty seconds, the first place can win only by undermining "target" car.

Sledgehammer is played in good spirits. On one level rarely spent more than five or ten minutes, and finish the game until the end can not really straining for 3-4 hours, so that the final credits you'll see a little earlier than this entire farce bored.

Alas, with all the pros, Sledgehammer, like almost any modern domestic game, noticeably lacking in gloss large western projects. Commercials, for example, made just sloppy - in some scenes the main character during conversations, even the lips are not moving. Character Animation clumsy, but the same effects do not impress. In fact, Sledgehammer reminds brilliant Burnout series or FlatOut, only Targem everything was simpler and somehow kondovey. The same collision in this case look so serious, that if they wanted to not get imbued with what's happening on the screen. And the main character, as we have said, such an unimaginable Krushmor that no sane person will not want to associate myself with him.

Despite the serious failures in the design, the gameplay is a success and he miraculously pulls the entire game. Here though there is no dramatic plot and licked graphics, but very fun to play. Great rush to Staughton truck and crush the unwary Dummies, shoot from all weapons of numerous enemies, ram flimsy walls with impunity all blow up and destroy.Again, a successful system of upgrades makes for ten times to replay the same levels in an attempt to become the first anywhere - and most surprisingly, it's not annoying. Sledgehammer - a great way to break from the serious games and fun. In the game world will not be able to dive, but fun for an hour or two after work or school - the most it.

Sledgehammer SECRET!
The opportunity "on the fly" to transform the truck should be used on all one hundred percent. The fact is that if you take a machine gun, then the rate is markedly reduced, and the chance to take a prize are plummeting. On the other hand, the civilian version of the car differs weak armor, so if you sit on the tail of the enemies, it may not be big trouble. It is best to change the modes of the truck depending on the situation. Straightened with a group of enemies is to turn off weapons - it is only in "peaceful" modifications, you can use Nitro Boosts, and catching up "feeding" mines. But if the rules of the race meant a bonus for shooting enemies is very useful to skip ahead of enemies, take out the gun and make a fun weekend for everyone.
