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.

You've seen bullets fly and buildings explode before, but not like this. In an effort to perfect what we call "gun porn," Criterion Software/EA has developed a game in which simply pulling the trigger is an exercise in excess. The story? It doesn't matter. What matters is spraying bullet casings across the battlefield and crushing your enemies with rage and rubble.
