VVV: "With the exception of the rather disappointing Carmageddon Max Damage, combat racers have become practically extinct this console generation, yet there was a time when there was an abundance of combat racers to choose from with series like Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8 and Full Auto.
This month's release of Gas Guzzlers Extreme on Xbox One was a pleasent surprise, particularly as the popular car combat game originally came out three years ago on PC. Its debut on consoles is a straight port of the original with no extra content or improved graphics, sadly, but it does contain the Full Metal Frenzy and Full Metal Zombie expansions originally released on Steam. Thankfully, the performance in the final version has been significantly improved since our last look at Gas Guzzlers Extreme at EGX. "
CCG writes - "At one point, the car combat genre was pretty popular whether you had the gun and weapon-based Vigilante 8 or the collision-based Burnout series. It’s seen better days as the genre is now lucky to see an entry in any given year. Gas Guzzlers Extreme (GGE), first released in 2013, and has seen sporadic rereleases in 2016, 2019, and now 2021 for the Switch and PlayStation 5 respectively."
COGconnected: Gas Guzzlers Extreme is a combat racing game that originally released back in 2013, but has now made its debut on the PS4. It's a drab and deflating experience that makes you grind a little too hard just to enjoy the better vehicles of the game.
Frank writes: "With a little more spit and polish, Gas Guzzlers Extreme could have been a great addition to the combat racer genre, but the lean selection of game modes, frustrating performance issues, and a lack of competitive multiplayer make it feel like an incomplete package."
