Full review
Speed Devils 2: Online Edition is a very fun racing game. Oh, and if you are looking for a strict, tweak the physics and toy around with the engine type of sim street racer, stop reading. Speed devils is more of a "fun" and not so much of "precise" type of experience. The original Speed Devils was a blast to play because it introduced the "betting concept" to players. The computer opponent almost felt as if they were real people going into a Vendetta and stuff.
However in Speed Devils 2 things are a little bit more complex. First of all, if u don't want to use this for online I strongly reccomend not to buy or rent because its really a strict online gaming experience. If you want the offline version get the first one.
First off, you begin by hooking up to the internet. After filling out some information like username and password.... you can customize your character profile. You can type in what you want the Drivers to say when you win a regular race, a bet, or a vendetta. After inputting tha info your off to race against other Speed Devils. the online play is surprisingly very smooth. Although there's always the pesky disconnection.
Graphics: There isn't much that has changed from this version to last year's but its equipped with online play so the graphics are adequate. car models look nice and shiny as well as levels that are pretty well detailed road-wise.
Sound: Music? It depends on your preference but it is music that fits the surroundings. cars clash and sometimes you run into other cars and obstacles which sounds alright. i like the sound of the motor and the sound it makes when gearing up. Crashing sounds are good and adds to the game.
Gameplay: It is fun to bet and race. you start in the class: D and work your way up to class: A. Your goal is to amass 800,000 pts. in order to qualify for class: A of drivers. There are some really nice cars to be earned. So all in all its fun to compete with other humans and Speed Devils fits the bill nicely. there are also loads of shortcuts on levels to use in order to outsmart your opponent. you can bust police radars for cash also. So, its the money that keeps you driving in the world of speed devils. with loads of new stream-lined cars to purchase and floor your friends in awe... How can you say no to Speed devils 2?
In conclusion, you probably won't get board of this game to early b/c its always different drivers and you can also create your own set-up of an online race and buy numerous little upgrades for yor cars like speed 1 and speed 2 that increeases your speed levels and more so give speed devils a go!
