As you progress there are some creatively gore-inducing armaments such as the Bow Blade that fire circular saws. However, this really doesn’t add much to the usual avoiding of attacks that you would encounter in any other fast-paced shooter it’s just easier to see the projectiles flying your way.Īs for weapons, you start out with your standard infinite ammo rifle for basic dispatching, and eventually, you can move on to more exciting options such as the evergreen shotgun for some nice meaty kills. The run-and-gun style is also very familiar but with the added bullet hell style dodging of projectiles. It does actually feel faster than Doom, which is welcoming since I always found that game to be too slow for the kind of experience it was supposed to be aiming for. The movement has the typical arena shooter feel, like your sliding on an icerink. If you find yourself in a section where you can use a higher gear with lower RPM or a lower gear with high revs, go with the latter every time.True to its appearance, Scathe plays exactly like Doom. Also, you get a better sense of the speed at which you are traveling, so you'll be better prepared to slow down for upcoming turns. Here, the program doesn't have to pump out cockpit and driver animations, so the frame rate is generally faster. Tip: Go with the "front bumper" camera for the best results. If you find yourself consistently slow on a given course, check out all the routes available to you before resorting to a different setup. Tip: Alternate routes are not always shortcuts. Tip: There's no better way of ridding oneself of an annoying police officer than by nudging him into a passing motorist or solid roadside object. Instead, brake early, turn smoothly, and accelerate on the exit. The EA version of an antique Porsche has a tendency, and probably rightly so, to seriously rock your world if you do, sending you into a drift from which you may not recover.

Tip: Do not, repeat, do not, brake while in the midst of a turn, particularly when driving older automobiles.
