WHAT THE CAR? Review: A Ridiculous Ride Like No Other

Driving Delight Through Absurd Abandon From the moment you start up WHAT THE CAR?, it’s clear this won’t be your typical driving experience. Long gone are the days of sleek hypercars racing around realistic tracks—now, you find yourself behind the wheel of an excited automobile with aspirations for adventure. And what adventures await! This quirky car is ready to flip, bounce, and barrel its way through a series of side-splitting scenarios that redefine what it means to get from point A to point B.

Developer Triband knows a thing or two about transforming everyday activities into absurdly entertaining excursions, thanks to past hits like What the Golf? Trading in a ball and club for a determined driver with legs, WHAT THE CAR? takes the structure of a racing game and warps it beyond all recognition.

Forget finely tuned handling or gas-pumping speed—here, the goal is simply to reach the finish by any means necessary, be that hopping on improvised pogosticks or propelling backwards using a well-placed sneeze. With each new landscape bringing unexpected rules and obstacles, no two missions feel alike.

While the road is filled with obstacles, WHAT THE CAR? focuses far more on fun than frustration. A lighthearted sense of humor and charming aesthetic work to keep the experience joyful and engaging for all types of players. With creativity as its driving force, this offbeat odyssey invites us all to embrace randomness and find laughter in life’s absurd twists and turns. So buckle up, start your preposterous engine, and get ready for a delightfully silly joyride like no other!

Taking the Wheel

Jumping into WHAT THE CAR? feels a bit like stepping into the driver’s seat of a vehicle that’s had one too many modifications. At first glance, the controls seem standard enough—manipulate left and right with a turn of the wheel, ease off the brakes to pick up speed. But peek under the hood and you’ll find a mechanic’s wildest fantasies strewn about.

Most runs start by firing yourself down the start line like a comet, wheels wobbling as the level name gets called out. Then it’s time to get a feel for your ride. On some occasions you’ll roll smoothly as a sedan; others find extra pedals sprouting from unexpected places. Just go with the flow; fighting the handling only leads to spinning tires.

Reaching the tape first earns ranking: bronze for clearing the stage, working up to silver if you smash the target time. Gold crowns take real mastery, threading the needle between obstacles. But even just crossing the line unlocks the next path to adventure.

Challenges here stretch the imagination. Traditional point-to-point racing shares hub space with madcap variations. Minigames pop up demanding musical theatrics or bowl-throwing skills. Puzzlers appear too, like bouncing precisely across springboards.

Linking levels spatially through a world map enhances the exploratory thrill. Hidden quests lurk off the beaten path for those craving extracurricular activities. And periodically rewards open new lands for even more motoring mayhem.

So button up, strap in, and get ready for the ride of a lifetime. The route lays no plans, but the joyride’s always worth taking. Each twist of the wheel delivers hysterics, and over the finish line satisfaction awaits. Start YOUR engine—it’s time to join the fun!

Never a Dull Moment

You gotta hand it to the fine folks at Triband; they sure know how to keep things interesting. Right from the start, WHAT THE CAR? Flys in the face of realism, choosing creative chaos over mundane motors. And it’s all the better for it!

WHAT THE CAR? Review

Leave expectations of normal cars and courses at the door, because your ride is anything but typical. Some moments you’re zipping about on springs like a human pogo stick. Others find you manning the wheel of a carnival float. Then there’s levels like “Opera Night,” where a singing headlight helps light the way. Absurd? For sure. Dull? Never!

Part of the beauty is never knowing what crazy contraption comes next. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new wacky concept pulls the rug out from under. Maybe it’s navigating mazes as a living accordion or exploring underwater in a car-supped goldfish. However bonkers the premise, Triband pulls it off with polish and panache.

This constant stream of creative surprises ensures no two runs feel the same. Even replaying favorites unveils new layers of zaniness. The imaginative spirit infused in every inch of WHAT THE CAR? works to refresh the mind as well as make the mouth muffle laughter.

While other driving games strive for realism, WHAT THE CAR? understands fun comes before physics. Humor, not handling, sits at the at the top of the priority list. And it’s all the better for abandoning expectations of real-world logic. WHO cares how cars should work when wacky wonders this wondrous await?

Taking the Bumpy Road

Driving in WHAT THE CAR? handles less like motoring down the highway, more like bouncing atop a messy kids’ ball pit. Controls respond to nudges yet still surprise, with not every bump sending your ride in foreseeable directions.

WHAT THE CAR? Review

At first such quirkiness feels jarring—and sometimes proving agitating when obstacles pile high. But continued time behind the wheel reveals mastery of the mix. Learning to predict unpredictability and sway a car this way and that proves immensely rewarding.

Through feeling alone, one learns to drift turns just so or launch from ramps in manners maddening to mere mortal vehicles yet blissful for scores. Guiding clunky contraptions down tricky paths brings out grins as challenges near completion.

Of course, tougher trials exist for taxing even ace drivers. Skull-marked stages up the ante with new twists on vehicular chaos. Here, mistake means mugging murky waters or plunging off perilous platforms, demanding resets.

Then again, frustration rarely lasts long in such lighthearted environs. Try, fail, laugh, and try anew—eventually a clutch finish or creative shortcut emerges. Alongside standard sports, customizable difficulty ensures fun for all skill levels.

In the end, WHAT THE CAR? understands gameplay flows best from levity, not severity. So while crazy obstacles crowd, tension rarely mounts—only delight in pulling off improbable maneuvers or seeing how far off-road antics wander. The experience rewards losing one’s mind more than keeping total control.

Off the Wall Visuals

From the moment players turn on WHAT THE CAR?, they find themselves in an eye-popping world like no other. Gone are gritty graphics striving for realism—instead, an animated art style bursts with personality.

WHAT THE CAR? Review

Bright hues and whimsical designs give each setting its own zany feel. Lakeside docks show boats worthy of Salvador Dalí. Sports arenas score points for fun with stands of faces and foam fingers aplenty. It’s a visual feast to explore.

Naturally, the cars get equal treatment for maximum absurd charm. From top-heavy taxis to sailboat-style speedsters, every vehicle earns a laugh simply by existing. Pair funky forms with slapstick specialist physics, and you have comedy gold on wheels.

Sound effects stay true to the tone, cheerfully cheesy without trying too hard. Honks, whooshes, and impacts bring the bouncy action to life, heightening each stunt’s silly satisfaction. Music takes a backseat to let loose laughs lead the way.

Technically, little holds WHAT THE CAR? back from greatness. Even bulky levels load without complaint. Frame rates remain fluid as freaky cars perform. At its technical best on a nice machine, though a toaster could run it without issue.

In prioritizing fun over realism, Triband crafted a look befitting their loony landscape. Absurd antics find the perfect home in visuals and audio that heighten delight—not hamper hilarity. So sit back, cue the chaos, and immerse in the insanity!

Never a Dull Moment

With WHAT THE CAR?, players sign on for more than a single joyride around the track. Across episodes, extra goodies, and player creations, the chaos keeps on coming in delightful fashion.

WHAT THE CAR? Review

Triband crafted nine themed worlds to start, housing scores of stages with unlockable extras sprinkled in. Hidden pathways burst from unlikely spots, concealing bonus quests and tougher skull tests for dedicated drivers.

Meanwhile, globally publishing antics ensures a ceaseless stream of stranger scenarios. From the developer’s dizzying dreams to outside talents’ exploits, fresh absurdity arrives. Quality varies, but dedication stuns—some constructor’s contraptions outbid the originals!

Revisiting favorites or encountering fresh feats refuels the fun factor. Daily objectives and score chases stimulate returning time and again to each land. Improving mastery or besting records brings pride.

The community component takes replay value exponential. With an endless user supply queueing up, novel nonsense never quits! Discover hidden wonders or unveil your own—the possibilities wheel on forever.

In short, WHAT THE CAR? understands gaming isn’t a solitary ride but a social experience. By fueling creativity and discovery, the road stays open to all drivers, near and far. So buckle up, roll down your window—this ride goes on and on!

No Nonsense Fun

So in summary, WHAT THE CAR? is just pure ridiculous joy from start to endless finish. Anyone looking for lighthearted laughs needs to look no further than Triband’s madcap motorsports marvel.

WHAT THE CAR? Review

Through absurd antics and constant creativity, it redefines vehicle videogames into an experience unlike any other. Challenges feel fresh thanks to transforming toys and wildly imaginative stunts around every turn.

While other titles obsess over realism, WHAT THE CAR? understands fun comes before physics. It flawlessly delivers delightful chaos with seamless style. Only a developer this daring could craft contraptions this crazy.

From outstanding visuals and auditory absurdity to deep challenge and community, Triband crafted a comical combustion guaranteeing endless entertainment. Whether breezing bonus levels or obsessing over objectives, driving daredevils will adore the adventure.

So fire up those engines, click that start button, and brace for a bumpy joyride like no other. WHAT THE CAR? waits to welcome you into its wacky world—don’t be the one vehicle voting missing out!
