The acrobatics come in when you use the X button to jump and double jump. To drive forward and backward, you use the R2 and L2 buttons. We first checked out the basic mechanics of driving.
Psyonix came by our office to give us a detailed look at what Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars has to offer. Ramming into your opponents at supersonic speed and having them blow up in a festive blaze is all part of the fun and strategy.
Supersonic pits players against each other or other computer-controlled cars in a game of soccer where there are no rules except to get the ball into the goal. The team at Psyonix has worked on vehicle physics and implementation for such games as Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War, so it makes sense for them to show off what they're good at by coming out with an explosive, active-packed arena-based vehicle game. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is Psyonix Studios' first original game to call its own.
