Nail'd is the new ATV arcade racing from Techland. We were quite impressed with it, given the fact that Techland doesn't have any experience in this genre. Forget about everything, this is an arcade racing with loose physics and speed. Seriously, Nail'd is the fastest game we've ever played with some insane jumps and amazing tracks. Kudos to Techland for trying something different.
However, Nail'd is cursed by the same damn game mechanics that haunt every arcade racing game. We're talking about the CPU cheats. We were shocked when we played half of the game and didn't encounter any CPU cheating. But alas, at the 3/4 of the campaign, all the 'familiar' CPU cheats come to surface. Opponents are almost invicible, points aren't given even when slamming your opponents or when you push them to brake down their bikes, rubber banding is kicking in and they'll always catch up with you and their touchdowns are flawless. Funny thing is that even when the leader is in front of you and doesn't take the shortcuts to gain points from passing through gates or circles, he'll keep getting points for unknown reasons. It's really sad, because the first half of the game (which doesn't have those 'features') is highly enjoyable.
