Crash Time 3: Highway Nights Review (Xbox 360)

When it comes to racing games based on popular TV series, there's often a lot of room for disappointment. However, with Crash Time III: The Weighstation aka Crash Time 4 or simply Crash Time - Xbox 360 depending on where you're from and what region your copy is for (it seems like titles can get pretty mixed up in the world of video games), developer Synetic Games managed to surprise me by delivering an enjoyable experience that's worth checking out if you haven't already.

The game takes place after events of previous installments, this time around our protagonist - who just happens to be a cop again (isn't it always?) - is tasked with stopping the nefarious plans of an evil organization known as 'EAGLE'. As usual, there's plenty of high-speed chases involved as well as some decent driving action thrown into the mix.

Graphically speaking things aren't particularly impressive compared to modern standards but considering this game was released back in 2009 for Xbox360 console hardware, it still manages hold its own quite nicely. The sound design is equally passable without being anything special either way though I suppose that depends on personal taste when it comes audio fidelity.

Overall then if you're looking for a racing title with some light-hearted fun and don't mind dated graphics / soundscape from last gen era gaming hardware, then perhaps give Crash Time III: The Weighstation (or whatever name your local store calls it) a shot? Just remember that while not perfect by any stretch of the imagination; at least you'll have had an entertaining time trying out something different than usual!

Rating - 3.5/5 stars
