Let's talk about how Busted looks. Is it an ugly game? No, it's not an ugly game. It is however a very plain looking game. When your car flips over (and it will flip over) you will see absolutely no details on the undercarriage. This isn't really a problem given the price of the game, but I would have liked to see a muffler or something under my car. Still the graphics in Busted are effective and they look pretty smooth overall.
The presentation of Busted is also good. I have played it for at least ten minutes everyday for the past week and not once have I experienced any slow down. Even when the nitro kicks in and your car is flying down the road it holds its frame rate. This is extremely important in a racer (or runner...racer runner?), and it performs great. I wont lie the audio track gets old extremely fast. There's nothing really wrong with it, but you will be tired of hearing it.
Also you can play with a few different vehicles and change the color of your car. They are not fully customizable but it's nice to have the option. You can also buy power ups to help you increase your score. So make sure you grab as much cash off the street as you can...because you will need it.
Busted controls pretty well. The left analog stick controls your movement. While the O face button works your brake. You really won't use the brake to often but it can save you if it's used sparingly. There is one thing I'm not fond of in Busted. It's those damn ramps(like in the picture above)! They're awesome if you hit it just right.and your car goes flying through the air. However if you aren't lined up exactly right it's game over. Or if you fly off the ramp and land on a car it's game over. It's not a deal breaker, just a little annoying.
Since all games on the OUYA are free to try, give this a download and see what you think. If you decide to purchase the full game it will set you back $2.99. If you enjoy endless runners then you will like Busted. It's another good game to play on OUYA.
