Review: Playability
“All Wheel Drive 3” will give you the opportunity to take part in various international off-road competitions that have never before been reflected in a computer game, including the Petronas Suvium Silverstone Challenge, taking place in Thailand, and the largest raid in Russia, the Ladoga Trophy. Virtual sports SUVs – among them, of course, the legendary UAZ – are recreated taking into account the technical features of real prototypes. Each car represents a specific class, intended for one or another type of competition.
There are not many types of technology, but it is quite enough for this type of game. By conquering tracks of varying difficulty, players will be able not only to control the speed and direction of the car, but also, if necessary, block the center and cross-axle differentials, use a winch, lower gear, change the tire pressure – in general, use special means to overcome off-road conditions.
We invite you to evaluate part of the game walkthrough “Full Drive 3”, where you can see for yourself the quality of this product:
“Full Drive 3” does not belong to the arcade category and, like no other, represents the genre of sports simulators, with all the hardships of racing life, which can frighten and disappoint “unprepared” players. Therefore, before purchasing the game, you should familiarize yourself with the demo version, which fully displays all the delights of virtual gameplay.
Review: Graphics
The graphics of “Full Drive 3” are based on the now newfangled Unreal Engine 3 technology, which cannot be said to be good, but does not look quite respectable in this genre. The color contrast is very striking, which somewhat spoils the impressions of this game, showing us the game world in a somewhat “childish” light…
But still, the capabilities of Unreal Engine 3 cannot be underestimated. Thanks to his efforts, depending on the driver’s actions in a given situation, the car can get stuck in the mud, skid or skid. And it looks really realistic…
Whatever one may say, the domestic product “Full Drive 3” is not up to par with its foreign competitors in terms of playability or graphics. Next, we move directly to the performance tests of video cards.
Review: Resource-intensive game
For “All Wheel Drive 3” you will need a configuration quite typical for Unreal Engine 3, namely a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz processor or an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 2.6 GHz and 2 gigabytes of RAM.
