A mixed bag of intriguing ideas and story elements paired with over-complicated but pretty easy puzzles and awful 3D platforming

While it tries to have some variety in its local multiplayer battle mix, very little feels fresh or interesting
Somewhat oddly choosing the classic Tortoise and the Hare as a base inspiration for a game, this family-friendly racer is quite plain
While you can see the potential in front of you for a great mix of throwback football gaming the difficulty can be tough to muscle through
Unfortunately, right out of the gate the game’s almost comically crushing difficulty makes this a rhythm game to avoid
Best enjoyed with some raucous friends, GigaBash allows you to take out frustrations kaiju style, wrecking destructible cities in the process
