The combat announcer might be a strange place to start, but my God, this Jersey Shore wannabe has absolutely no place in a combat arena-based videogame. Sadly, as positive as this may sound, once your start actually playing the game, things soon begin to slowly unravel. Things actually start of rather well for W.O.D with 5 unique classes of vehicle to choose from (Soldier, Assassin, Heavy, Mechanic and Scout), a large selection of weapons and power-ups to try out and 5 large maps based on real world locations to choose from, W.O.D gives the impression of a download title with a fair degree of depth. W.O.D isn’t a game without redemption by any stretch of the imagination and certainly succeeds in attaining at least a few of its goals, but sadly, while there is a level of fun to be had and instances of solid design to be found, an array of poor design choices and an, at times, painfully awkward control set-up contrive to suck any fun that may have otherwise be gleaned from this otherwise ambitious download only title. Sadly, unlike Twisted Metal, this isn’t a very entertaining one.
Like Twisted Metal, this too is a flawed experience. Typical aye!? Hot on the heels of the flawed but nonetheless highly entertaining, Twisted Metal, comes Gelid Games’ PSN exclusive combat racer, Wheels of Destruction – or W.O.D if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. Like anything else in life, you wait years for a vehicular combat game and two show up at once.
