Rekkaturvat: Truck Dismount

In a word - this game is brilliant. Having already played Stair Dismount some months earlier - which was absolutely hilarious and compulsively addictive all at the same time - it is hard to believe, but this game is actually a vast improvement on the original concept. The ultimate aim of this game, is quite simply, to do as much damage to your 'dummy' as possible. This is done by deciding exactly how a truck is going to slam into a wall, via a series of simple options.

This is the first thing that makes the game so brilliant - among other things you can choose the speed at which the truck will hurtle towards the wall and the position of the dummy on the truck, which in an amusing twist includes the rooftop and even in front of the windscreen. The second thing that makes the game even more brilliant is its engine - both the truck and dummy move completely realistically, regardless of what configuration you set the options to. Not only this, but the dummy receives damage points, depending on which body parts you damage - if you damage its head you receive a lot of points, whereas if you damage a foot or a hand, you don't receive much at all. This leads to some hilarious situations, since damage is accumulated from the time you start the truck's engine to the time your dummy stops moving (after the truck has hit the wall).

Having given so much praise, the game is not without bugs - which are ultimately used to get the highest scores. It is debatable whether or not these bugs are intended but if you are playing for the highest score possible, eventially they will be all that you aim to achieve. Essentially the major bug gets your dummy stuck with some of his body outside of the truck and some of his body inside, during which time it will slowly move. Depending on which body parts get caught, your score will sky rocket for a limited amount of time.

This game is a gem. It seems to get praise from all over - and frankly it is well deserved. It would be nice to see more games of this calibre released in the freeware community. Big thumbs up.

The ultimate anger-relieving game has arrived! This is the first game that has been released that you would want to play when you don't want to have fun, and you just want to hurt someone. (However, it's also fun to watch the little stickman get tossed around when the truck hits him).

In Rekkaturvat: Truck Dismount, you are trying to inflict as much pain as possible on a little stickman by slamming him with a truck, or, even better, trapping him inside the truck and bounce him against the windshield and the seat.

Truck Dismount is definetly not lacking in entertainment value, since you can change just about anything in the game to hurt the stickman as much as possible, such as jumps and their positions, if the windshild in the truck is there or not, and where the stickman is. There is also good music (which can be muted if it's not your kind of music,) and the graphics are in 3D so it is easy to change the view of the little accident that you create.

If I had to rate this game from 1-10, I'd give it a 15, because it goes above and beyond in entertainment for the small download size that it has (2.1 MB) and you can play it for fun or... just to take your anger out on something besides your pillow, or your punching bag... or your wall... etc. etc. Download Rekkaturvat: Truck Dismount. Trust me, it's not a reviewer's choice game for nothing.

This game can be summed up in one simple word - one which we all utter, usually after we do something clutzy, like stub a toe or bang our head. "Ouch." And this is the purpose of the game. Make sure the poor dude in the truck has as many fractures, punctures and inturnal bleeding as you could POSSIBLY manage, then watch it.. over and over again. Whenever you get bored, play your replays and laugh. Grows tedius with prolonged use but good for laughs when you need 'em. I shall say no more.

A fun and addictive game... about crashing a truck into a wall. This game is very customizable, you can choose the trucks speed, where the character sits (in the truck, on top of truck, in front of truck), if there's a wind shield or not, and you can even add 1-2 ramps and chose their y- and x-axis positioning.

That's how it got my rating: Excellent.

And if you liked this game try "Stair Dismount", which is also a great game.
