Fatal Intertia XL is actually...okay?

Silver Mirror | May 31, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3 
Fatal Intertia was initially meant to hit the PS3 18 months ago, in the end they put the project on hold and concentrated on the 360 version. Of course if you read any review you will know the game was rushed and a total failure, but now Fatal Intertia XL has come as a downloadable title on PSN and according to PSXEXTREME is actually a very solid game. With it receiving a score of 8/10.
When you think of Koei, you think of Dynasty Warriors, and maybe Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The last thing on your mind is a company that creates futuristic racers in the vein of WipeOut. Well, it's time to change that perception as Koei has done just that. It's been over a year since I pieced the first preview of Fatal Inertia, and back then the game was scheduled for a February 2007 release. Complications in development forced Koei to put the PS3 version on the backburner, leading many to believe it was simply canceled, and only release the Xbox 360 version. Well, not too long ago, Koei announced that the PS3's Fatal Inertia is back on track and that it would boast many enhancements over the flawed X360 game, in addition to being a downloadable game via PlayStation Network. The PS3 game also gets branded with an "EX" subtitle, as well.

After a 18 months worth of delays, Fatal Inertia has finally arrived for the PlayStation 3 and that delay was worth it for a number of reasons. For starters, because this is a downloadable game, you're not paying a full 60-dollar premium for a physical copy. Instead, Fatal Inertia will run you only $30! Secondly, Koei was wise enough to go back to revise and enhance the game for its PlayStation 3 release; the product here is unquestionably much more polished than what Xbox 360 owners got. Again, all for 30 bucks.

    It's probably a solid remake. You know, they were probably like "OMG! We *bleep*ed up! We gotta make a better version!!".

    Never heard of PSXEXTREME.com. XL will still likely get scrutinized heavily by the big sites, because it's PS3.
