    This is a game that, for all intents and purposes, is an online experience almost exclusively -- or at the very least a multiplayer one. Yes, there is a single-player component, but it's the warm up. The real fun here is in playing against other people. Read more

    This is where CAC's most notable fault lies, as it's at once too simple and too complex. The initial batch of four courses demonstrates this pretty well. Two maps are solid: City and Trainyard. They're just the right size with just the right amount of obstacles, and the challenge of scoring higher points makes good gaming sense. Trainyard has a jump into the scoring jail that needs to be tweaked, because unless you're going at just the right speed, you'll frequently miss... Read more

This means that many gamers will be finally be playing it for the first time, having missed out when it originally launched in 2007. Read more

    From the mind of the David Jaffe, comes a multiplayer game that can only be described as trash-talkingly fun. GAMEPLAY: the premise of calling call cars is a simple one, drive your car to the criminal catch him and take him back to gaol, with points awarded depending on where in the gaol you take him. This task is made harder with 4 players trying to do the same thing at the same time causing multiplayer chaos across the map as people scramble to get the criminal back to... Read more

    Map limitations aside, Calling All Cars delivers some truly great multi-player.
