Crash Time
Sorti le 2 novembre 2007 sur Xbox 360 et PC, Crash Time est un jeu de course développé par Synetic et édité par RTL Playtainment. Le titre utilise le moteur 3D Landscape Engine et le système de protection SolidShield. Au programme, le joueur résout des affaires sur l'infâme Autobahn en neutralisant des criminels dangereux sans jamais sortir de son véhicule, à travers plus de 70 missions. Un mode course multijoueur local est également de la partie.
L’accueil de la presse est mitigé. Totally360 estime que les amateurs de jeux de course seront probablement conquis dès le début, tandis que Cheat Code Central souligne que le déblocage de véhicules et de circuits pour le multijoueur motive à poursuivre l’aventure, mais qu’il n’y a pas grand-chose au-delà. Certains joueurs se montrent plus enthousiastes, évoquant un jeu assez divertissant, avec une durée de vie de six à sept heures pour une partie complète, mais ils signalent aussi des bugs et des glitches pouvant faire échouer certaines missions. D’autres le décrivent comme un titre vieillissant mais toujours amusant, malgré de nombreux défauts techniques et un certain charme nostalgique. La note agrégée du jeu s’établit à 49,91.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« If you like driving games you'll probably be sold from the word go, but if you've ever enjoyed games like Burnout, Test Drive Unlimited or even some of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit games, and you fancy a whole parcel of low-budget arcade action then this could be right up your alley. »
« Unlocking different vehicles and tracks for the multiplayer provides some incentive to push onward, but there's not much past that. »
« To sum up, then, this is an interesting game in the same way that Earth Defence Force is interesting. It’s full of silly faults, but if you look past them it’s fairly competent. »
« With the hilarity of multiplayer locked until you finish the solo missions, and a slightly too-high price, this is one to miss. Shame. [July 2008, p.94] »
« Mediocre, unimpressive and uninspired. The handling and physics are competent, but the missions are dull and the presentation is shoddy. The most fun to be had is in laughing at the voiceovers. »
« Frustrating, cheap and lacking any real depth. A modern "Chase HQ" this isn't. [Aug 2008, p.80] »
« Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit feels more like a training tool for humorless German police cadets than a videogame meant for entertainment purposes. I had more fun driving to work this week than I did playing this game. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Pretty enjoyable game. Took only about 6-7 hours for a full playthrough. Some of the events I failed due to bugs and glitches that you can’t do much about. If it weren’t for some of those bugs I would rate it higher… however, the music is catchy, the voice acting is hilariously bad that its funny, cars look, sound, and feel good. The driving mechanics were surprisingly good and found it very enjoyable to drive fast and maneuver around traffic. The map is nice, lacking in some of the details. It can be confusing using the arrow for some missions at first but you learn to use it properly. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy racing games! »
« That game is already old but its still fun. Anyways when i was playing this game it has got a lot of glitches. Its kinda nostalgic too so Crash Time:AUTOBAHN PURSUIT is just cool in my opinion. »
« It's a great game. Interesting stories , good graphics , normal physics and amazing visual damage for vehicles . If you like good games about police , you should buy it for sure. »
« Ok, the idea behind ''Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit'' can sound interesting and funny, and inclusive the game has some good details, the graphics for example, the cars look so great, and the streets too, but the problem is the rest of the game... The gameplay is really terrible, the answer of the controls is really weird, the missions are very repetitive, and inclusive the game is very limited, and if we add the online absence, the final result isn't favorable. Maybe with more develop time, or inclusive like a Xbox Live Arcade Game, the game could be better, but well... ''Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit'' it's a funny game... but it's also one of the bunch. »
« Interesting the case in this game. I think that Autobahn Pursuit is a good idea, but when you play have some mistakes, but with some good points, in not much words, the title is good. Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit is funny. »
« Are you freakin' serious? 44 out of 100? This game is great! It's interesting, the graphics are good. Yes, the voice acting is terrible and the missions are repetitive, but the game is fun. No online? Then buy the fourth game. »
