Summary
Playing a lot like the classic game WindJammers, Log Jammers goes further by adding unique level designs and of course powerups. The game plays really well and despite the lack of tutorials or rule explanations it is pretty easy to learn the ropes and jump straight in. Online is fast and as long as it doesn’t lag, Works really well. Local MP is where the true fun is, One can play on the keyboard and the other on the controller. In short its an excellent take on WindJammers and a lot of fun to play.
