Fatal Inertia: Eurogamer Preview

A few races around Fatal Inertia’s varied environments reveals that there’s a far closer parallel to be drawn than WipEout. In fact, in many regards, the game departs dramatically from the WipEout formula – especially in terms of its tracks, which are criss-crossed with shortcuts, obstacles and so on, a far cry from WipEout’s carefully crafted smooth-walled tunnels.

As such, the parallel Eurogamer ended up drawing after about half an hour with the game wasn’t with WipEout. Instead, it was with Mario Kart – a game which the development team profess to be huge fans of, and one to which Fatal Inertia may well be a surprisingly solid next-gen homage.
