SEGA - Full Auto 2 is PS3 Exclusive
Environmentally destructive racer waves goodbye to 360.
Sega has just announced, rather shockingly, that car-masher Full Auto 2: Battlelines, is heading exclusively to Sony's rather drearily-named PlayStation 3 console.
Full Auto 2: Battlelines is the platform-hopping franchise follow up to this year’s Full Auto, which appeared on Microsoft’s stupidly-named Xbox 360 console. SPOnG will endeavour to find out next week at E3 why the dev team at Psuedo Interactive shifted from 360 over to PS3. In the meantime, some details.
The game introduces a new Arena Mode with six different arenas specifically designed to allow for what Sega inform us is going to be “One of a kind multiplayer car combat”. According to the press release just issued, “Environmental destruction plays an important role in Full Auto 2: Battlelines. Players strategically destroy the environment to dynamically change track conditions. As original racing lines are blocked and new paths are opened up. Environmental destruction can also be used as a weapon as cars are crushed by falling debris caused by well timed missiles.”
So it’s like a fully customisable, environmentally unfriendly proper next-gen Destruction Derby. Awesome! Battlelines will feature 25 different, fully customisable vehicles ranging from classic muscle cars and low riders to monstrous SUV’s and heavy industry vehicles, 20 different tracks and more than 20 explosive weapons.
The single-player campaign will take the form of a multi-branching story which allows you to “...battle for Staunton City by conquering six different districts and taking control of your opponents’ cars and weapons.” Whilst the multiplayer game will include “Six different carnage-filled multiplayer game modes perfect for team-play...[ranging from] classic Deathmatches and Base Assaults to Gladiator-style gameplay.”
The game also features the cool 'Unwreck' feature which allows players to rewind time and get a second chance at escaping death. Wouldn’t it be nice if one could do this in real life? SPOnG would save loads of money and time mucking about with complicated, boring car insurance claims, not to mention the pain of waiting for broken limbs to slowly heal.

After the suckfest that was the original? Wow, gutted. Another turkey.
