[SPOILER ALERT]
You know, I love Breaking Bad series along with others that share the same universe. Race of Life hits pretty close to home with one of my favourite shows. If Vince Gilligan was a talented and perverted man, this would be his creation.
This game is somewhat differs with Breaking Bad, I would called it “semi-reversed BB”. In this game, you start as a guy named Jake Miller who cheated against his wife which costed your dream job and your little family. Later, your decided to work as a lecturer in a college whose rector (or president/chancellor in the US) hardly appreciate your works despite your brilliant mind. His life was okay-ish after that shit show, but it turns out It hasn’t ended, yet. Your little daughter was hit by an oncoming vehicle while playing skateboard and now she’s in coma. She could wake up sooner or maybe months or even years. Desperate, you and your ex-wife decided to moved her to a better facility, but it will cost you millions of dollars. How do we get millions of dollars fast without robbing a bank?
Almost the same as Breaking Bad, right? Well except in the show, Walter White was given a chance to lower his ego, take a sweet deal with his former company, and live comfortably with your family with a fat check to cure your cancer. But no, he chose the unorthodox way by becoming a drug kingpin. Pretty much the same with Jake, but it all happened because of his wrongdoing in the past and he doesn’t even get an easy chance. Like it or not, he needs to live a very dangerous path by becoming a sensation in an underground illegal street race to get easy money for his daughter’s treatment. He also needs to proof himself for the investors that he’s capable to invent his newly found ergonomic and efficient battery. So yeah, just like what I said, this game is “semi-reversed BB”.
Enough about that, let’s talk about the gameplay, graphics, and its characters. Overall, the gameplay is great, the dialogue tree has multiple non-boring branches that fit perfectly with each characters. The racing scenes and its gameplay *chef kiss*, absolutely the best I’ve ever seen so far apart of Desert Stalker’s fight scenes. Mind you, this game also has a LOT of technical terms, probably more than Chasing Sunsets. So if you have an IQ lower than 70, this game is not for you. But seriously, Race of Life also includes a built-in encyclopedia about any technical terms you can find so if you have difficulty understanding them, you can just check it out. About its graphics, I can say that it is on par with many recent AVNs so you’ll like it.
Now, the characters. Let’s start with Jake Miller, he’s a handsome dude, smart fella, a little bit retarded in the past, and have strong balls in him (most people would’ve killed themselves in his situation). He looks fresh compared to many AVN’s MCs so it’s a plus for me. Next, Allison Falla, Jake’s ex-wife. Did you guys remember when Skylar White got so much hate because she keeps obstructing Walter’s plan by becoming an annoying wife? Yeah, basically Allison has the same energy as Skylar. Truth to be told, both are in the right because their husbands broke their trust so they became what they are now. At least, Allison is hotter and you can rekindle your relationship with her. Next, Cooper… idk his full name. Dude is funny as hell, smart fella too, a little bit fat, and faithful to his wife unlike Jake. Best wingman in the AVN history so far other than Derek from Being a DIK and Chris from Leap of Faith. Next, Veronica Moreno, Jake’s current girlfriend-ish. An English professor, hot Latina with big boobs and big booty, she’s a sex addict but also can be pretty sweet and serious about relationship. Now it’s the time for everyone’s favourite redhead, Jasmine Dunkirk. She’s one of Jake’s student, can be quirky at times, full of tats, smart girl, and kinda wild. There are other essential characters that I could talk about but I’m afraid that I already wrote so much words in this review.
Five stars out of five. Heavily recommended by me. It has three chapters for now but they’re pretty long and repeatable.
