The ultimate character to unlock is Junior who is the small child that accompanies John on the back of his bike, however you will need to complete all the levels to unlock him. Other characters that feature are Earl and his quad bike, the Yang family with their open top car, Jack and Jill with their bike and trailer combo and also the fantastically named Lawn Chair Larry who gets about in a propane powered wheelchair/rocket. Fairly ruthlessly the level doesn’t end if she falls off, they only care about you really! Oh and riding a bike with one leg is possible!! Poor junior regretted not doing his seatbelt up! Feet go missing, arms severe off until she cannot hold on anymore and falls off the back of the bike in a crumpled heap. The 100% ragdoll mechanics are so morbid but hilarious at the same time. The poor lady on the back of the bicycle acts as a moving target as everything seemingly hits her despite your sweeps to the left and right to avoid the obstacles. With the controls under your belt the traps start to make an entrance. You are taught the simple controls along with the directions to pull off wheelies and stoppies by pulling either backwards or forwards on the left stick of the controller while accelerating or braking. You start off with John who rides a bicycle with Debra on the child seat attached at the back. There are several different characters to play as, each with their own mode of transport, this adds their own unique style of handling that you need to quickly master. From the deserts of “Happy Valley” to the amazing “Glory Gauntlet”, can you achieve the best time on them all? This will be me taking my wife shopping in years to come! Each challenge series is set in a different environment and features specific characters and vehicles that you can choose to use. With over 70 levels to attempt split across 9 series of challenges, “A Day At The Park” starts at a very basic difficulty and increases to pretty much “death awaits you everywhere” rapidly. The result is limb dismemberment and blood splattering about the place, the severity of your injuries determines whether you can continue on or whether you restart from the previous checkpoint. Inevitably you will get hit by one (or if you’re really unlucky ALL) of the hazards if you do not swerve to dodge them in time or miss time your jump. Simply put, Guts and Glory requires you to race your character from one point to another through checkpoints within a makeshift 3D world while avoiding all sorts of everyday hazards such as arrow turrets, spinning chainsaws, disc cutters, claymore mines and even cannons just to name a few. Yep it can only be HakJak Production’s gruesome racing/action game Guts and Glory! Available across all formats and winner of both the IndieDB Editor’s and Player’s Choice award, was I going to find a great game or just some over the top blood bath of a gaming project? Don’t you just hate it when that happens! Gameplay Blood litters the streets, parts of limbs hang from hooks, my bicycle is in tatters and I am flying through the air after hitting a claymore mine. Guts and Glory is certainly not for the faint hearted or those that don’t like the sight of the red stuff. Oh my freakin’ god what have I just played! Let’s get this said first.
