Cons: Very poor handling physics, low-quality graphics

Full Auto 2 is a huge disappointment, esp. since it's a Sega game and I expected so much more. I had played the original Xbox 360-exclusive Full Auto and it was a total disaster. Full Auto 2, exclusive to the PS3, is a much improved version, but overall it's still a crappy game.

First, the graphics is poor for a PS3 game (and for the price). The cars have no details and the environment inadequately rendered. It really feels like a PS2 game that was just half-heartedly dressed up.

Second, and more devastating, is the laughable car physics. The vehicles just feel weightless and ridiculously unreal. When you are racing you don't feel like you are racing at all. It's almost as if you weren't even controlling your car. The physics here is the worst I've seen in a racer in a long time (only the original Full Auto was worse).

Because you can shoot at your opponents when you're driving, there's so some fun factor to this game, especially for a couple of hours in the beginning. Ultimately, this game falls far short of its potentials (just like the original for the X360). It just sucks.
