Electric

“Electric” isn’t my first Island track, but it is the first I’m happy enough with to upload. In fact, I’ve never before worked so long and hard on a track as I have with this one!

It’s fast, thrilling, challenging and has loads of MT stuff – the best I’ve ever made!

***FULL MT***

o Intro - FX colors, electric theme – a beauty!
o In-game - Cam changes, GPS, “Star Formation Overview Surprise” (kind of like a second GPS, but with an overview of the track instead of a fly-through – you’ll get it when you see it)
o Outro

I usually waste a lot of time writing long Author Comments, but after doing all that MT work my hands hurt, so I’ll leave you to it now.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to award it if you like it, comment if you dislike it and upload your personal best if you make it that far

Well, I coul'd have started a new k-project with my failed replays.
This track is so f***ing hard

Tried now for 45 mins only to finish it!
Then driving a good time is
You have to lerarn each meter of the track good, so you know when where to jump.

Sry m8 but I can't give a award this time

For me this track is much too fast - so I give up trying to reach the finish.
View User ProfileSend Private Message KEV Fan 06-Apr-2008
The intro is mega-awesome
The start section is annoying
After start section very cool jumps and narrow parts - great.
The jump into loop is
The approach jump towards finish again is

So some really cool things are slightly overruled by the flaws to me - so very close no award this time
At least nice competition for PlayPal

Oooh, this one is a track I really like. It's very diverse, beautiful, spectacular and full of ideas. If you drive it well, you even feel a flow, because everything connects so well and each element comes naturally. If ...It's difficult, you see. That's not necessarily a minus, I like creative tracks where you have to learn the track to explore all ideas. But I can't read all signs, and several diagonal jumps lack a bit of control, you need intuition there. Nice MT, I like the "electric shocks". Still, I'm a fan of well-planned camera drives. Also applies for the outro. But it does look good.

The final diagonal jump is very, very hard.

Anyway, go on like this.

So, the master of ceremonies himself has created a track for us!

A fun tricky island blast!

The intro was a very cool, action packed assult on the senses! Loved the fury of the colours and camera transitions. The little radar signal coming from the tower was a laugh. Groovy text effect on "Electric" flashing violently into position.


Very unique GPS with the different camera shots seperated by the flashes, actually very well done and I can appreciate how long that would have taken to perfect. Looks good, and shows the way well. Good one.


The suprise was also something nifty and original. Not sure it was overly helpfull for racing, but shows that you really pampered your track. "Weird round thing" lol


Now I can start racing! First ten or so times - "Whoops wrong way" The red booster to hard chicane is tough to master, but is rewarding when you find the right line. Nice smooth transition through the hole onto the platform section also.


Flew into the buildings after the loop the first few times also. Shows how good my memory is after watching the GPS! I found the double offset dropdown quite challanging, and it is probably my least favourite section of the track... =/ It is well designed, but I cant help feeling that this bit could be just a touch smoother. My car was bouncing a little... Although after a number of attempts it is starting to grow on me, but still seems to hold an element of luck..


On the platform section everything seems to settle down for a little bit with some great highspeed racing. Nice smooth jumps, and excelent use of the 'weird round thing' and cool transition to a smooth corkscrew. Very well designed, and intense, particularly the groovy corkscrew.


The offset jumps blindsides you for the first few runs, but actuall becomes one of my favourite sections of the track. Lovely and smooth, requiring skill and accuracy, just how I like it! And it flows nicely into the banked racing, which also has a nice little jump.


The banked offset jump, has long been a favourite of mine in island, so it was a joy to see it in work here, flowed nicely and was a great finish to the track.


The outro looked very slick and professional with clean camera angles, never jeky and amateurish, but rather showed the car and the track nicely. Good to watch. A bit of a motion blur or a few colours would not have gone astray here to really jazz it up though.


So alltogether a very nicely polished and fun track. Perhaps not perfect, but ive yet to find a track that is. More of this from you!


Great Work.



Jonkster.

Alcator's Recognition of Innovativeness Award (ARIA)

First, the negatives:
- the track is cramped. It absolutely ignores my recommendation of "Calm before Storm", the challenging parts are stacked right next to each other, with only microseconds for breather before each of them. The player needs several runs to get SOME idea of the layout, and several more the memorize the sequencing of tricks in this one. This also means that most players, should they face the track online for the first time, will not finish it, unless they do what I do - keep CP-respawning (the replay 2:47 I uploaded is my first run).

Now, the positives:
- even when you know the track by heart, it still provides challenge, because the higher your speed, the harder it gets.
- very cool "surprise" at start (MT), and highly innovative GPS fly-through.
- one of the most complex start sections, took me ages to get to the first loop without losing speed.
- nice cangaroo-jumpy feel throughout the track, the car keeps jumping, there's not much "solid driving".

Nice track!

cool one you did here
This first part is very tricky, some slicky and sloppy slides here (word play ), had to try the start very often, kinda hard ...
But the rest is Island Full Speed at it's best: fine turns, great speed, nice jumps!

not a total trackreview like you always did, but i try my best to not miss anything

the track is amazing !
the first rides were a bit frustrating because this track is so damn tricky
at least for me
the super noob
but I know youre not a pro aswell , so I knew I dont have to expect a second "speed anxiety" , so i tried it a bit more and.. it finally flowed well

the intro was just a true beauty !
the "electric" effects were amazing and really creative
normally I wouldnt like the fx colors but here they simply seem to fit so well, I could find any bad thing about them
the ingame tm is also a lot
the funny gps is different to other ones and very funny too
the "surprise" was a weird one but better than no surprise at all
the music is just great for this track, perfect choice
the outro was a good one as well
and thet rack, wow, its a damn nice one !
fast and nice transitions and some more techy looking sections make this track different to others
i really enjoyed this, and the respawns all easily work , well done !
the scenery also looks nice, and there are enough lights for the night mood
just a greta track, I really ownder why it has had only 4 awards

i was a bit sad that there were no "sivert-secrets"
imo the intro and ingame gave 2,3 hints where there couldve been one

shame on me, always forgettign to download thet rack since it got uploaded

Good Job!

Very well designed track! Liking the MT work too

It is really hard and frustrating, which isn't helped by Nadeo's signs not loading!

Never-the-less, you deserve this for your efforts
