I especially appreciated the ability to add upgrades with Sodium credits for 2 reasons: I had close to a million of them in the bank from Salt Shooter and the store was closed to monetary transactions for much of the beta testing period. The only way to add upgrades was by redeeming Sodium credits for a few weeks then. I’ve also used wallet funds at times because the credits can be rather laborious to accumulate.

Salt Shooter and Project Velocity must be the 2 Home games that I’ve played the most. I don’t play either of them so much anymore but I certainly received my money’s worth out of both. It’s a shame that no Home game in the past year has held my attention for nearly as long.

Its learning curve is more of a right-angle too, but trust me, once you button it down you’ll be zipping along, taking 90 degree corners at over 600mph while shoving a rocket up your rivals jacksie AND dodging the heavy fire behind you in no time. This is the REAL future racer, in comparison, S2 is like taking your grandad for a Sunday drive.

Having said all that, LW have done a really amazing job to produce S2 from the constraints of the Home programe, they do deserve a big pat on the back for managing to pull it off. There’s definitely something to be said for the incorporation of the “smack-talk messages” that you can send or receive. A great way to pump you up and get you ready to claim back your place on your friends time boards. Nice write up BTW.
