Fatal Inertia

I feel sorry for this game, because it\'s so easy to know what to design-in to a futuristic racer - but they just never bothered with most of it.

The controls are hampered by the crafts constant dipping downwards, so you\'re constantly having to compensate for that by gliding it up - as well as having to accelerate or slow, and of course steer, and use weapons.

Aside from that, although the environments are lush and very well done, there isn\'t enough happening in them for the most part - say like, the best parts of WipEout are the huge jumps, the side-on tracks, the loops.
Also it\'s sometimes very difficult to know exactly where the track is, but then a lot of these titles suffer from that, due to the complex graphics.

Still though, without that cumbersome dipping of the crafts, would have been hugely more enjoyable.

3.5 cause of the annoying need for using \'up\' all the time getting in the way of playing the game.
