Makeway – Game review

Gameplay

A racing game between you your friends or AI. In this game you build tracks and then race them with your friends or AI if you chose. This game  is a great party game or good for hosting friends as a good pass time. Make way is a game where you go against AI or your invited friends, you build tracks for you all to race upon. you build these tracks by all choice a small section of track and placing it together once the last piece of track is placed the game starts, it count down and within fifth seconds you and you friends are released into the track you made. You will go in the car you have chosen at the start of the game, as you make it through the track you will gain points for pass each check point but don’t rely on passing each one as your friends can push you of the track blow you up using shot guns and miniguns as well as mines that they can place in front of you if they are ahead. As well as skip you all together if they find and use short cuts on the course you made.

How to Win

This game has a simple point system where each check point you cross results in a set number of points and at the start of the game you set a number of points to win. As you play the game you can see its not as simple as just crossing each check point or finish line though as each time you build a track you extend on your previous track until one or more of you hit the point target. This allows you to make  the game harder or easier for you and your friends depending what tracks you choice. Therefore you wining or losing depends on your concertation and your chose of tracks. I found the best way to win or collect points in the game is choice tracks you either know your good at or tracks you know your friends aren’t so go at. This could mean choosing to avoid tracks with  short cuts if you have a friend that is overly good at them or choosing the tracks with them as your stupidly good at them yourself.

Track types 

Makeway has multiple types of tracks you can chose from some which are simple that just go from point A to point B without problems other where tracks have built in problems some being narrowing bridges so with power up so you can push your friends of the track so you can win the game or barricades that one of your friends could of added as the rounds go past as you try to get enough points to win the game. Each of these tracks can help and hinder you in the game but overall can make the game more interesting. One of the few tracks I know has a short cut is the spiral track when its going down as my friend normally cuts me out of the check point on that section of track each and every time. However when you first look at it you wouldn’t guess it would be a bad track that anyone can be pushed from easily till you play it.

Graphics and audio

starting with the audio it a simple and bland but often heard most of time when your playing. The audio could do with more rhythm or tune if it was often heard but being this a game about playing with friends its not overly needed what it does it does well which is given the game a bit of noise as you are setting up. But moving on to the graphic design of the game its well done with a similar art style for the game joyrider its simple cartoony but works really well to give the game a simple feel to make the game more about having fun then the details involved.

conclusion

Overall this game is a simple but fun party game there isn’t in this game that really needs touching on as its so simple but I believe that’s what makes the game as enjoyable as it is. I found this game is good for getting to know people for party’s and hangouts or celebrating overall as its simple yet elegant setup makes it a easy and fun game to learn and play in a matter of a few rounds. I am sure that there is more to make the game more grabbing but I personally don’t see the need for that to happen.
