A 5 segundos truque para Drag x Drive

In addition, character models lack polish, meaning the game doesn’t really look like it was made for a flashy new console.

The way Drag x Drive has you push your wheelchair across the basketball courts and the surrounding roller derby-like arena is surprisingly intuitive. The further you push forward in one swipe with both hands, the faster you'll go. Shorter adjustments with either wheel then allow you to tweak your angle, with longer ones, naturally, having you whip right the way around.

No entanto, apesar da diversão que podes sentir ao saciar a curiosidade com os controlos por rato num jogo de desporto, tens do lidar usando diversas condicionantes numa experiência que não ostenta a mestria Nintendo na estética ou na maioria da sua personalidade. É uma pena pois no seu melhor, Drag x Drive exibe imenso potencial.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour taught me things I didn’t know about the console, but it’s a novelty that you shouldn’t have to pay for

I tried Hori's Steam controller, and it feels almost as quirky as Valve's original version - for better or worse

Combined with the twist that playing basketball in wheelchairs has on a familiar sport, the result is a very solid and enjoyable time. But with only that one mode to hang its hat on, I don’t see Drag X Drive

So, a couple of major questions arise. Is Drag x Drive just a glorified tech demo? Or is it a fully-fledged Nintendo Switch 2 sports title with enough depth to hold down a loyal playerbase? I spent hours playing this unorthodox new release to find out.

‘s control scheme is its most novel feature. The idea of using the mouse functionality of both Joy-Cons to control a wheelchair-bound character is an inspired idea, but way more than just a simple gimmick. Holding both Joy-Cons in mouse-mode, I slide each one forward or back to push or pull that tire, just as I would turning the wheels on a wheelchair to move.

There are also other ways to distract yourself in the park while waiting for the matches to start. Things like shooting challenges, obstacle courses, or challenges like jump rope are littered around the map. They’re inoffensive and offer a decent way to practice my movement.

I played Drag x Drive for around 10 hours, mainly competing on-line during the Global Jam event and in matches against bots in single-player mode. I also completed the majority of the available minigames and played around with the customization options available.

Yep, this game’s a real workout, though I did wonder if this was intentional. Is Drag x Drive meant to immerse the player in the high-exertion reality of wheelchair basketball?

The game was designed to take advantage of the Joy-Con 2's mouse mode, with players using motion controls to mimic using a wheelchair to move.

. It’s a workout on the arms, minigames aren’t massively engaging, and the environment isn’t visually stimulating enough to draw me in for the long run.
