Electronic Arts' Auto Destruct is one of several games currently vying for the automotive combat crown currently held by Sony's Twisted Metal 2: World Tour. While Activision's Vigilante 8, Interplay's Crime Killer, and Sony's own Twisted Metal 3 are promising hopefuls, Auto Destruct doesn't even threaten to come close. The storyline borrows as much from Marvel Comics' The Punisher as it does from the old David Hasselhoff TV series, Knight Rider. The antics of an "extreme terror cult" have caused the death of your entire family, and the cultists haven't stopped there. They've moved along, wreaking even more havoc in a future San Francisco (ostensibly shaken nearly flat by quakes between now and then). A mysterious organization called Temple has given you a sports car outfitted with weapons to stop them. As Booth, the driver, you follow the instructions given to you via radio from your Temple operative. |
