Death Track®: Resurrection

FlatOut 3 is better

there you go, I said it! I fucking despise this game so much because you are NEVER in control of your car as it seems to have a brain of its sometimes, automatically screwing you over many many times. The boost sound will absolutely blow up your ears and the tracks are so fucking awful and long and boring for the most part. You have to boost all the damn race to maybe stay in front after you've wrecked anyone in the race before that. It's excruciating and so unrewarding, I hate this game so much that it tainted my image of car combat games...

The game doesn't even function properly. Nitro is broken, doesn't work and just earrapes you...

- Handling is slow and less responsive than it should have been
- The AI and difficulty level is very hard and unfair
- Once you you destroyed an opponent, they'll respawn soon and ready to get back at you in no time

This game ruins the beautiful memories of my childhood when I first played the old one.. This is just based on my experience, not everyone may feel the same way 👀

its a good game, but it doesnt run very well, crashes all the time. :(

I just love this game. It is pretty similar to the good old Death Track, it expands on it but in a good direction.
I have played this since release, and a lot more than the recorded hours, probably around 100hrs.

This is much more fast-paced than most other racing games, and it is fun and action-filled.
I pretty consistently finish first, while in other racing games I struggle a lot more to even get into top-3.
It is less about how well you line up going into a corner and more about reflexes and strategies for using the weapons and buying effective upgrades.

It has some bugs, but for me it has not been too bad.

I am disappointed that they did not release a few updates to fix the most glaring bugs after release.
And I really wish somebody would make another remake of Death Track.

For vehicular combat fans only. Level design is awesome though and soundtrack have some cool tracks.

Actually Death Track Resurrection is fun to play. It have a lot potential, but broken. Developer should make it AI easier in low difficulty, patch 60 fps caps on modern system, easier car handling, and easier to get money in the game.

I truly like the atmosphere, ruined city clipart, and cars weapon system.

Quite an entertaining little game, people mentioning horrible bugs and glitches and whatnot but the only thing I found was the nitro glitch which is easily fixable and it's perfectly normal for a game like this.
A lot of people also banging on the game saying it's unfair and hard, those are the same people that decided to start the game on the challenge section instead of the story mode. The game isn't at fault for their retardation.
However I do have to agree the handling is a bit wierd, thankfully each car has a different handling model so you can just try em out and see what suits you best.

This is a fun little game with an interesting little storyline that doesn't try to be something more than it is.
If you're bored and want something different to play on your pentium laptop this is the thing.

loved the original game (still have the original disk) and when i saw this game load and worked out how to control the car and cannon .... I love it!!

10/10

Love the old game on my 486, and love the remake game play.
A bit harder on my finger in my older age ':-D

But Buggy as F**K!!!!!
Keeps crashing

Meh, i guess it's not that bad.
But it's not good either.

Controls are easy to control but at the same time, they're not. It's easy but mistakes and failures can also come very easily.
Turning right or left isn't so great.
It doesn't have lot of content.
But i there's some action so that's that.

5/10 - There's not much to say about this game, get it for 0.99$ or less but not more than that.
Otherwise ignore this and look for something else.

Full Auto 2 on the PSP is a better game.
Both Gas Guzzlers on the PC are better games.
And of course, so are the Carmageddon games.
And i'd say the Flatout games if you don't care about the weaponry, it has action nonetheless.

Verdict: It's up to you, if you're looking for a time killer that's kind of mediocre but that you could enjoy for a few hours or less if you get used to the driving mechanics then go for it, otherwise you got plenty other games out there.

Too much default...

First of all when you start the game with a controller, on the menu A doesn't do anything, X is to make the quit menu appear and i tried to press B to abort the game to exit and even pressed the no button but the game close...

The fun part is that you have to restart your computer so steam don't detect the game when you stopped playing it !

So for the gameplay i played only 4-5 minutes, the cutscene are boring, lipsync on other language aren't good but hey its a 2006 game so i was expecting that and it doesn't bother me as much. The handling are just awefull turning your car are too slow and when you turn, the car some time doesn't even turn so you constantly take wall without reason... there's only 10 track, could add more...

This game is one of the many games that made my chidhood, it's a nice game to play when you're bored but beware, it can be very rough to starters but trust me, once you get the hand on it, you'll have a nice time

While a lot of people seem not to like DT:R, I think it's a decent game if you're interested in games like Rollcage and the like.

Pros:
- Good graphics for it's time and runs at a stable 60fps on my system.
- Nice variety of locations to race.
- Cheap, even more so when it's on sale.

Cons:
- Gameplay gets boring quickly, the game is best enjoyed in short sessions.

I think DT:R suffers from the fact that the developers seemed unfocussed and didn't go 'all out' with this title, look at Carmageddon or Twisted Metal for what I mean.

2.5 out of 5

Bought this because I played the original Deathtrack back in the 80's. Had way more fun then. Handling of cars are dreadful.

I think it captures most of the essence of the original Death Track.

That being said, it does have flaws and definitely could use more work - the missing multiplayer mode is a prime example.
The "storyline" mode is interesting at best, it doesn't seem to mesh with the actual game, even if you win all the time, others are seen celebrating and having accidents.

The game itself is simple - race fast and try to get to the finish line first. Someone in your way? You've got two forward-directed weapons to take care of that. Sprinkle a few mines or spikes behind you to keep others from overtaking you.

There are a few weapons systems to choose from, and each can have three upgrades. Not quite what the original had, but good enough.
Several cars can be bought - if you win often enough.

To get more cash blow up stuff - the track is littered with explosives, strategically deposited for maximum carnage. Doing so will also grant you boons - invulnerability, speed boost, etc...
The same boons can also be picked up as power-up during the race itself. They'll not wait for you, though - the move about, left to right or up and maybe down.

All in all its a fun game. Fast racing, lots of explosions, good music. A feature that I personally like very much is the announcer, who comments your driving, for example when you take first position with the rest in hot pursuit, he may comment with an enthusiastic "You're leading the pack!".

Reminds me of Death Rally. High speed arcade shoot em up racer, great fun.
The campaign and tournament progression system is a bit rough but the gameplay is competitive and fun, moreso when you unlock the faster engine parts.

Can't seem to get this to work, despite all i have tried. Not sure what the issue is but can never get past the loading screen without it crashing =C

ok this game is just wow it reminds me of when i play Jak X Combat Racing on the PS2 BUT i must say there are some downsides to this title

the story is rather short

lack of a sound track i think i heard the same song Twice on the same track

but the gamplay is TIght its Challenging and rather good

Sound and Effects = 8/10

music = 4/10

gameplay = 9/10

difficulty curve = 7/10

replay value = 9/10


final score of 6/10 furry claws

this game is good if you had a bad day and want to blow something up THE only thing i wish that was in the game was a Online and Offline multiplayer i mean i can see it right now Tag team racing as a type of game mode one drives while one is on the gun and i can just belive the insainty that could happen if this went online oh well a cat can dream can't she?

It's pretty bad when the default xbox 360 controller controls are up + down = left and right and left + right on the other stick is accelerate and brake. Although it was funny playing the game with the controller turned 90 degrees.

EDIT: Typo and "helpful review. for anyone wondering, you CAN REBIND the buttons. See thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/7840/discussions/0/846959179179239666/" Thank you Mr. Red. For me it was just easier to play something else :P
