Hello welcome to another video
Talking about onrush and here is my onrush rant review
I've really enjoyed this game
I'm just a bit gutted. The onrush hasn't really got much
Publicity, haven't seen any ads on the telly or anything
So it's not really done that well for its first week of release. I think it entered the charts at
No 30 something in the UK, which isn't very good for
a new release but
It's kind of got its self to blame really. I mean the game is not that bad.
I've had loads of fun with it, but
fun soon turned to absolute anger and frustration.
I'll talk with the positives first of this game, right?
I was really worried when I heard that it wasn't going to be a typical racing game.
there's no 1st place 2nd place, 3rd or blooming last place. Its literally
does your team win the event, does your team lose the event? That's what it is, its team based!
That is it. It's not about you. It's about team
And when I heard this I thought, don't know if I'm gonna like this
and because everyone says, this is as close as you'll get to motorstorm, which is game that I loved
I never played the beta
I should've really but anyway, I thought its Codemasters, the people who made MotorStorm as well
I thought it will be alright and to a degree it is alright!
there is fun to be had in this game, it is mental, but it's
consistently mental and
I've gotta be honest for the first
Day or so I absolutely loved this game. It was a breath of fresh air because I have never played
a game, I mean I love racing games. I play all the racing type games
but this is the one that in such a long time really did feel different
it is so different, rather than thinking am I gonna finish 1st or 2nd
 
I have been watching the team
scores as you racing and you sort of think c'mon, c'mon and you have your praying that your
teammates which are AI, but you praying
That they keep you in it. It's really exciting
people watch me play it and even they're getting excited saying...
the scores changing you only like a thousand behind, just keep in it keep it up
You're almost there
and you know
You're consistently watching that team score and that's what makes this different from any other
Racing game that I played and I've got to be careful how I say "racing game" because it's it's kind of a race
but it aint!
You know, you've got to learn what sort of vehicle suits, because they've all got different abilities some
You know, it's quite strategic in a way,
the motorbikes, they're there to stay up front and help you out and the
The bulkier cars are there to sort of protect the bikes,
In a way you can play it how you want but, that's really what
Those vehicles are designed in that way for, they've got different abilities
Some I think are quite pants are some are really good
But it does make for a really good fresh take on the genre, you know
Which it's very hard to make a decent arcade racer these days because we've all played them, and this one
Really does stand out! So that's its strengths and graphically it's pretty good
Although I'll get onto my negative with that.
my negatives with the game,
I was doing really well on the single-player campaign and I have played it online
but the single-player I thought now I'll stick at that 1st and I got
Really far into it and got right the last event, which is the founders trophy right now
I didn't do every single event to get to that. I did skip some, I'll be honest but this is the main
final
single-player campaign event, right
So basically it plays
5 different rounds of different modes and I thought, ok
The problem being is obviously its team-based
So you've got to hope that your team can also help you out when you're struggling and trust me that last event
every round is on the most hardest difficulty and
The the rounds last longer than normal because it's obviously the very last of them and you know
It's going to be a little bit more tricky, but my god, man!. I was pulling my blooming hair out. I mean
When you going so fast, your past the 1st round you're thinking oh man!
That was tough!
Then he got round 2, round 3 and 4 and, I got right to the last round man!
and
You know my team just got hammered and yet I was so close
I was way ahead and then all of a sudden the AI on the opposing team just came back with a
Vengeance and thought, NO, we are not gonna let you win, and I just lost it
I was done. I put so much effort into that last event
And it's heartbreaking. It's absolutely heartbreaking, I just couldn't bring myself to play it
No more after that. It killed me because
Up until that point. I was really kind of enjoying it
I mean, I've gotta be honest you can't play the game for too long because it does get a bit repetitive
it's crash & smash and all that and
another thing on that is that
not just the last event part but before that you get to a different part in the game where it
Gets dark and you know, every racing game has a dark setting to it, but flipping heck!
when you play in the dark on certain levels and
Sometimes you can get snow too
you can't see where the hell you're going. I mean you cannot see
anything at times your crash and you think, well
Of course I crashed, I can't see anything! I can't see the road. I can't see trees
I can't see anything, unless you stay in the pack all the time
but you're gonna get taken out because you know
You're there. You're vulnerable
So I always try and stay to the sides if I can, you know and try and help out the team
But it was so frustrating
It was killing me. And do you know what I've not really raged quit a game like this in
a long time because I usually always in any racing game, finish off the campaign
Always! I somehow manage it, but with this. I just
Something inside me thought NO! You've broke me!
You've broken me down man! You split me in 2 and you've hurt me that bad with that last event
you just got to look at the trophy stats
The % of people that have that trophy, you see that people are struggling
I didn't find that fun. Now online is fun online is really good, but
When you've played so much of the single-player and this is what gets this game down.
you wouldn't know if you're playing multiplayer or the single-player
if no one told you what mode you're in because it all feels the same and
I don't remember hearing anyone
When I played it online.  In any of the matches, I played online. I never heard anyone talk and
Christ!  I've only got to go back to MotorStorm on ps3 and loads of people were
Giving banter to each other and having a laugh,  you know
That's the way it should be online if you ask me!  I'm never aggressive to people online
But I do like to give a bit of a banter like, wa hey, took you out there mate! that sort of stuff.
Onrush, I am gutted for the game.
It's sad, because I was really looking forward to this game and I really thought this is bound to hit Top 10!
