A game of contrasts, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed is a love letter to arcade racing with a modern twist. While the gameplay shines, technical issues and a weak story hold it back, leaving players divided.
What it's about: SpeedRunners 2 est un jeu de plateforme multijoueur ultra rapide où des super-héros s'affrontent dans des courses de parkour à l'aide de grappins et autres bonus. Le moindre retard se paie cher : un cercle de feu se resserre sur les participants, les éliminant un par un jusqu'au dernier survivant.
