Wow, this is such an incredible improvement over the first! I really like how you didn't try and spin it as a sequel, but rather it's a less nerdy version of an update. Sorta dissapointed by lack of vehicle choices, and I think that EVENTUALLY the game does become somewhat repetitive and the pace starts to get slower as well...however! Whatever he's going to find, I'm really glad it's in Oregon!!
Everything has really good weight to it, and I think it shares similarities to games like the Miami/Sydney/Etc Shark games but requires more skill than the World Shark (or whatever) series...
out of 10...
gfx - 9 (cool post-apocalyptic theme)
sfx - 8.5 (killer theme song)
design - 9 (clear and organized)
gameplay - 9 (fantastic action)
overall, I think that this is a really great game with a lot of time you could spend playing it. It's very high-pace but also somehow chill at the same time. A great choice for Daily Feature, imo.
