Sega and Pseudo Interactive's unholy cross between RoadBlasters and the Crusin' series slams into stores on February 14th. We took an early look at the combat racer at E3 2005 and came away extremely pleased. Granted this was an early version of the game and running on alpha hardware, the conecpt and entertainment value was immediately realized. And by judging from the recently playable demo in last month's Official Xbox Magazine and soon to be on Xbox Live this Wednesday, gamers will not be let down by this purchase. In fact, EBGames is sweetening the deal and is offering a free Full Auto faceplate for your Xbox 360. Rock on!

Full Auto is structured similarly to Midway's Rush and Crusin' series; however, the huge difference here is the fact that all of the cars are equipped with machine guns, rocket launchers and rear-mounted shotguns. The game not only focuses on destruction of your rival racers, it also encourages the total destruction of the surrounding environments. Several opportunities of large scale destruction were presented as gasoline stations and tankers were begging for a direct hit with a well-placed rocket. The same reactions crashes between cars and environments that appear in Burnout were illicited in multiple magnitudes when witnessed in Full Auto.

If there was one game that I would say that epitomizes what next-gen games from Xbox 360 are going to be like, that one game so far would have to be SEGA's Full Auto. Imagine a cross between EA's Burnout, Need for Speed series, Ubisoft's Prince of Persia and Atari's classic RoadBlasters and you've got the idea of what Full Auto brings to the table. The game was on display at E3 in Microsoft's booth running on Xbox 360 alpha hardware (read: PowerMac G5s). This one game truly overshadowed everything else being demoed publicly for Microsoft's next console. Full Auto is a delicious blend of jaw-dropping destruction and high-speed racing that shows off the promise of what next-generation games have to offer graphically.
