Kotaku writes: "Slick Entertainment's Scrap Metal adds some much needed vehicular carnage to Xbox Live Arcade, a top down combat racer that evokes warm feelings of Twisted Metal and Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road.
The developers of N+ for XBLA look to have in Scrap Metal something for the Twisted Metal fan who might have been left wanting by the similar Calling All Cars-or never got a chance to play either of those PlayStation games. Scrap Metal seems to put a little more emphasis on the actual racing than the vehicular fisticuffs, with track designs and controls that conjure thoughts of Rare's classic racer R.C. Pro-Am for the NES."
This week's Achievement HUNT, brings you Jack vs. Ryan.
More of everything would have really helped this enjoyable arcade racer move up a gear, and here’s hoping it receives some extended care in updates, as there’s certainly potential for this more violent shade of racing game. But right now, you can only get Scrap Metal in black.
