Armageddon Riders (PS3)

[miir]

As most of you know I'm a huge fan of racing games so when I saw this come up on PSN for $10 I just had to pick it up.

It's set in a city overrun by zombies.
You can roam the city and search for collectibles or pull off stunts or just run down packs of zombies.
It's a sandbox racing/action game that's like a cross between Carmageddon and Burnout Paradise.

The graphics are surprisingly decent for a budget title.
They nailed the car handling. It's over-the-top arcade.
You can pull powerslides, burnouts and handbrake turns with ease.
There's little need to worry about totaling your car as they are quite durable and repair powerups are plentiful.

There's a good variety to the events.
There are loads of upgrades you can unlock and buy for your vehicle.
The zombies can get bothersome when they jump on your car and start beating on it. You have to ram another car or wall to knock them off. There's also an upgrade available that electrocutes them to knock them off... you need to shake the controller to activate it.

There's online multiplayer available but I haven't tried that yet.

Nothing groundbreaking but there's a crapload of fun to be had.
I'd still consider it a good value if it was triple the price.
