Pocket Gamer: You've got to love quirky Japanese video games. Tokyo Crash Mobs most recently won me over with its unhinged premise and presentation. Now it's the turn of Crash City Mayhem to tug at my silly bone.
Crash City Mayhem is thoroughly strange, and quite entertaining in small doses, as long as you don't expect to genuinely enjoy the gameplay.
There are some games on a console’s library that make other games look fantastic in comparison. Games that are well thought out, but are poorly executed in contrast to other games. One example of this is none other than Crash City Mayhem, a driving game for the 3DS. On face value it seems to be one of those underestimated titles that could shine through, however this game just fails to deliver anything close to a fun experience. How hard can the game crash into the city streets? Let us strap on our safety belts and ride on in.
There’s certainly worse driving games on the platform, but it’s hard to find a reason why anybody would want to play this revival of a dormant series that was mediocre to begin with and is even weaker over a decade later.
Not much coming out this week, so we've included a few older games that fit nicely with Independence Day.
