Drift City review

Drift City is a MMO racing game on Games Campus (http://driftcity.gamescampus.com/).  It's cell-shaded graphics and arcade-y feel make for a blast to peoeple who enjoyed games like Crazy Taxi and the Mario Kart series.  It's Free 2 Play, and in the few weeks I've been playing it I haven't seen any overpowered items purchasable with 'Campus Credits'.

Games Campus may want you to spend you hard-earned paycheck on Campus Credits, the in-game currency purchasable with real money.  Luckily, you don't have too, as there are tons of ways to make money, including an auction house where you can sell old parts or other items.

One of the neater aspects about this game is the item drops.  You get drops for combos (wrong lane driving, drifting, jumps, etc.)  The higher combo chains you can manage, the more items you get.

The Driver Hub is the main area where everyone starts, with a parts shop, car dealership, auction house, and more.  Think of it as a safe town in an RPG.  You can meet with friends, start or join a Crew (clan) and more.

Once you leave the Driver Hub you'll wind up in the first town, where you're greeted with the beginning missions after you accept them.

Most of the game revolves around doing story missions, delivery missions, and evidently there is PvP, but I haven't done that yet.  Missions are usually arresting HUVs, unidentified vehicles that have been wreaking havoc in the city.
  Delivery missions are just what they sound like.  After recieving the mission you must drive through every delivery spot on the map ASAP.

Now for the RPG aspects.  As you gain experience from completing missions and quests, you earn Mittron, which doubles as both money and gas.  After you earn so much experience you gain a player level, which allows you to higher level parts.

This game is perfect to play with a game controller too, which is great, because playing racing games on a keyboard can be very awkward.  I don't want to turn the steering wheel as far to the side as possible with one key press!

The game is Japanese Anime-styled, which might turn some people off.  I though I wouldn't get in to it because of that, but boy, was I wrong.  This game is ADDICTIVE!  The anime stuff is very unobtrusive as well.

I highly recommend any arecade racing fan the check this out.  What do you have to lose?  It's free forever!

P.S. I haven't spent a cent on this game and I'm level 26, been playing for weeks.  Check it out.  You won't regret it!
