Several of the latest Nintendo consoles contained a up-to-date “trick”, with various successes and reviews, as well as specific games that helped them shine. Wii had Sport Wii As a pack for dismantling WIIMOTA traffic control, the switch had ARMS show off Joycons, and now switch 2 Drag X Drive for the functionality of Joycon.
This captivating title in basketball in the basketball of three vs could really shine as a game “Reception and game” with family and friends, but the learning curve for playing strange control of the movement means that it will not happen.
You must have a ride
Drag X Drive It uses both Joycons Switch 2 in the “mouse” mode, with each controller imitating the movement of the hand that is used when moving and turning tires in a wheelchair, and an increased arm movement for basketball shooting. This is a really nice idea, especially as such that helps to shed some airy on an insufficiently represented sport, which is estimated at over 100,000 people around the world.
But in practice Drag X Drive It is more annoying and uncomfortable than amusing. As always, the potential is for some joy that can be found in a queue for stupid matches with friends. However, at the basic level in this game there is a lack of charm and emotions that can be expected from the title of Nintendo the first.
Move at all Drag X DriveYou need to move Joycon mice forward or back on a flat surface, using the trigger buttons as brakes. I am sure that when you master these controls you can find fun and show your skills, and it is very nice to perform techniques such as Slam DNO or Alley Ups. But I have the impression that most players will play for a while and then go on.
After a few matches, you can get used to control, but they still feel shaky and sometimes painful for your wrists and arms. None of this is the fact that Joycons are not ergonomic in the case of this kind of gameplay, so I suggest some controller handles, if you plan to pick it up.
As a positive technology of the game movement works well. The movements are basically one to one on the screen, but we had such excitement from Nintendo for almost two decades. This game simply forces you to operate your legs as a game surface, which in itself is a problem, because I do not recommend using a table or other flat surface for play, because it is even more uncomfortable, but others may feel different.
But that’s a bit of a string
Apart from the main basketball game with which you can play and against friends or bots, there is not much to do Drag X Drive. There are several shallow and senseless minigas, such as races to eat some time, but it is a title for multiplayer, and basketball in wheelchairs is meaning.
Even basketball experiences are relatively pigened. You can go to your teammates, come to your opponents to drop the ball and score to score. Your chances of getting a bucket consist in the distance from the rim and correctly directing the network, and that’s all.
The most depth and strategy offered by the game comes from the type of drivers, such as basketball items. There is a guard, center and forward, all with different attributes, such as speed and strength, so you may have to think about who plays every team.
You connect with the Online Lobby, which is basically like a vast skate park with basketball classes and fields, and you are waiting for a match in the queue. You can also play offline with bots, but there is no division option.
One of my main problems with Drag X DriveDoes it really seem that a technological demo aimed at showing Joycon’s control, which was then transformed into a game of USD 20. This forthright price is unfortunately one of his benefits and does not receive the fact that the visualizations of the game are quite general.
You play as a faceless character in a motorcycle helmet, and the adjustment options are constrained, except for some colors and textures, and the number that you can wear on your back, so there is no gloss here.
I hope it will not be the best operate of Joycon Switch 2 mice. I hope that FPS games may feel better in this respect, but for now, Drag X Drive It feels like a pass, unless you are great in this type of movement control games or you appreciate the representation of wheelchairs in the form of a video game.
