It looks just as nice without the 3D, giving off a very Tron-like vibe, however the visuals quickly grow repetitive and therefore dull. However, trying to play in 3D and keep the 3DS steady enough in your hands to maintain the sweet spot is an exercise in headache-inducing futility. Obviously it was designed with the 3D effect in mind and, even as a big critic of the glassless 3D screen, I can happily concede that the visuals look neat with the 3D turned on. The visuals are pleasant but overly repetitive. The other futuristic sound effects also sound impressive. ![]() During gameplay you can cycle through the game's five songs by pressing the shoulder buttons. Literally, you start out traveling down a cylindrical tunnel that winds and weaves through the hazy nebulae of space, then every once in a while the cylinder will uncoil itself and present a flat plane to travel on with terminal edges that you can fall off of.Īt least the music is solid. Playing SpeedX 3D Hyper Edition, I suddenly felt bad about all of those jokes I made about NASCAR's lack of right turns. At some points the camera will zoom in even closer, which increases both the sense of speed and danger. The first person camera stays low to the ground allowing you to see only so far ahead of you, which forces you to react quickly to the randomly generated geometric obstacles in your way. Your vehicle - at least I assume there is a vehicle involved but you actually never get to see it - can pick up shields and other power-ups by going over special tiles in the middle of the road. Even then, you cannot compare your score with other players over the internet, further isolating the player and providing one less reason why you should care at all. Your high-score is all you are really working for. There are no objectives to achieve, items to unlock, or even opponents to race against. You accelerate automatically but by pressing the B or X buttons you can enter Hyper Mode which causes you to accelerate faster and applies a 1.5x multiplier to your score. The game gives you very little to play with and thus there is very little to recommend. It resembles a futuristic racing game but in truth you are not racing against anyone or anything. SpeedX 3D Hyper Edition is a downloadable title available from the 3DS E-Shop. By VGChartz Staff, posted on 06 June 2013 / 3,560 Views ![]()
