While a lot of the racing we do consists of cars without weapons mounted to their roofs, sometimes you just need to switch things up a bit and launch rockets at the asshat in front of you. That’s where Gas Guzzlers: Extreme comes in. While definitely a racing game a heart, there’s enough of an emphasis of blowing stuff up that you trigger-happy, road-raging gamers out there will find a lot to enjoy."
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.
