Review: Mantis Burn Racing: Elite Class And Snowbound DLC (PlayStation 4)

Take your Mantis Burn Racing gameplay to the next level with a brand-new Class of ‘Elite’ vehicles that come complete with their own stand-alone career campaign. Also a brand-new snow-themed environment featuring four stunning tracks that add new depth to the game’s single-player, split-screen and online modes.

Pros:

  • Download sizes: Snowbound=2GB and Elite=78.1MB.
  • Elite season brings its own set of events spread out among the tracks including the new Snow themed levels.
  • Veteran class gets two new seasons with over 30 events.
  • Three new hover vehicles that are ridiculously fast and light on handling. As with other car types you get a faster one, Slower one and the tank looking beast.
  • Snow tracks look really good as you leave tyre marks in the snow and slide around the now very perilous twists and turns.
  • You can still upgrade the new vehicles as you did before.
  • The DLC re ignites the desire to perfect every level and get the gold.
  • Fun to play.
  • Snow really does mix the whole thing up and the fact the tracks are put straight into seasons and existing seasons is brilliant.
  • You get a surprising amount of content.
  • The DLC also brings in a few tweaks and fixes to the overall experience of the game, Handling for example feels a lot better.
  • Hover vehicles will really test your driving skills.
  • Still has the slick animations and car designs.

Cons:

  • No new trophies were found.
  • Hover vehicles are tough to drive and with that carry a hefty learning curve.
  • Snow levels are awesome but again are tricky for the first few races.
  • You cannot use hover cars in every season race.
The Numbers:
  • 8/10
    Overall - 8/10
8/10

Summary

The DLC does nothing but add to the experience, The snow levels are just fantastic fun to play whilst the hover vehicles test your driving skills like never before. Not a lot else can really be said except it is a must buy and prepare yourself to be sucked back into the world! For you know nothing bout snow until you have raced in it.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
