A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is
capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is
played on the Internet. Typically, this type of game is played in a giant
persistent world. MMOs can enable players to compete with and against each other
on a grand scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the
world. Most MMOs require players to invest large amounts of their time into the
game. Many MMOs can be found free on the Internet.
From the title, I honestly couldn't put it together with bumper cars. So I had no idea what to expect from Big Bumpin'... until I saw the packaging and all was made clear. Big Bumpin' is very difficult for me to review since it depends heavily on color identification for telling which player is yours and there are various color-related identifiers in the levels for various game types, as I'm red-green color-blind. So this game is confusing, but fun. The game types all work online, and include some obvious and some not-so-obvious variations on smashing bumper cars into each other. The whole idea seems somewhat like a paintball game to me, in that you play bumper cars to knock people in cars around because you can't have the actual experience. Just like you play paintball because you aren't going to have the actual experience of a fire fight. However, unlike paintball games, in this game the bumper cars do explode.
