After a few months delay, finally Big Ben Interactive (now Nacon Games), and the developer of Zordix Racing, are in charge of bringing us Overpass, a truly unique alien of its kind where we will find behind the wheel of some of the most powerful UTV and ATV on the market to try to win obstacles that at first seem impossible, but nothing impossible for these four-wheel-drive animals.
That through many circles full of obstacles like rockers, logs or rocks; as a volcano-filled mountain, we must make full use of our vehicles to try to overcome the impossible terrain of any other type of vehicle.
Technical section
Although the Overpass is not a clear drawing, it is interesting to note that comes to Xbox One X with upgraded version to 4K (the version used for this commentary) that makes the theme look really good, especially with regard to the many scenarios we will visit, all with great detail and beautifully illustrated lighting. The theme is solid, and in the hours devoted to Overpass to do this review we did not encounter technical problems.
Function applied internally The physics of this game are outstanding, as the Zordix racing team was able to duplicate the results the various obstacles we had to overcome in our cars, and the specifications of each wheel depending on where they lived, because neither track would fit in gravel or mud, as in rock or water. Unfortunately, the effort spent on the physics of the car is not much different from the pilot, who says that when we get into an accident it will collapse in completely ridiculous ways, especially when traveling on an ATV.
Despite having four really good music (especially if you are rock fans) who will accompany us during the theme menus and get us stuck in our heads more than once, within the game itself the sound we will hear will be the thunder of our motorcycles, something without a doubt, it helps the feeling of immersion because it doesn't make us, but it ends up being frustrated for so long trying to conquer the map. The game meets all the menus and subtitles in Spanish.
Playing
At the Overpass we will take part in many obstacle courses, either in the circuits prepared by different tests to pass, or in the open field of the previous trip that was marked; No matter where we run, we will soon know that speed will be the only thing to win, ever since. The most important thing in this article is the process.
One of the different challenges we will have to overcome becomes a real challenge for all players, reaching a level of frustration for the player, especially during the first hours of play, because of the great need for technology that this article requires, because climbing through your car is a really crowded area full of logs and rocks is never easy to do.
To do this, we need to learn how to play with a different blocker and change of motion of our vehicles. When you make a different blocker, all available forces will move towards the wheels that are connected to the surface, thus greatly increasing its strength and grip, and allowing you to climb higher up the slopes; However, unlocking a different lock is very difficult, and our switching rays will be greatly reduced, so we have to be very clear when to use it so that we do not get hit by an obstacle.
One really useful option, especially in the case of ATVs, is to switch from four-wheel drive to a rear-wheel drive, so that all the power is directed to the rear axle of the car and helps us get out of complex situations such as grabbing through the muddy terrain or blocking the nose of a car.
We will find a the main difference between driving a UTV, very strong and resistant, but not controllable; and drive an ATV, a car in which we will receive immense humility thanks to changing the driver's position, so that we can use our driver's weight to stabilize the car and avoid possible falls in really complicated areas.
As we move forward in our work, we will gain a reputation that will allow us find better sponsorship contracts, which will result in a significant increase in our revenues if we meet the contract terms. With funding from sponsors and our winners, we can buy all kinds of improvements to our cars and make them more competitive; or directly we can buy new and powerful vehicles for key market products, such as Suzuki, Polaris, Yamaha and Arctic Cat.
Plus it has an online activity mode where we can compete with up to eight players to see how to get the best time on the go; We will also find many local players, both on the split screen and passing command, and we can build our competitions with different tests.
Time
Jumping is a very long game, not so much because of the number of levels but because of its huge difficulty, so it would be common for us to repeat the same test many times if we wanted to get good points in a position to increase our revenue and reputation. In addition, if what we want to achieve is a gold medal for every route, we have to memorize almost every obstacle we have to overcome and an effective way to deal with it.
Judging by the multiplayer mode, we can say that this title is limitless, in particular, in my opinion, thanks to the local multiplayer mode, which makes this article a really fun option to spend an afternoon with your friends.
Conclusion
Not particularly popular at any time, Best of all a good game that can give us long hours of entertainment If we are able to successfully overcome the initial frustration we will suffer during the beginning of the game, which I guarantee will make you think often to re-save the game and make it light again. If we are able to succeed before that feeling, we will find a game that will be a real challenge even for the most experienced in driving titles, but that gives a great sense of satisfaction once you are able to do it well.
