Twenty-seven teams from India to Iceland and China to Chile
are given one month and £2000 to build a supreme battle machine.
These monster vehicles have to be capable of incredible feats
of endurance and speed in order to outsmart and outmanoeuvre
their competition - who are all hungry for victory. The contest
is a battle of wits and engineering wizardry as teams from
five continents compete for the title of Full Metal Challenge
World Champion.
Full
Metal Challenge
is an interesting DVD release. Fans of the TV show will already
be familiar with its format, but for those of you who are
not basically 23 teams must throw their cars around a collection
of oversized fairground rides in a bid to gain points. The
winner being the team that earns the most points.
While
the main program is divided up into segments for each game,
it is the extras that make this an interesting release. Sure,
you can watch the teams battle it out over the numerous games,
but in the extras you can change angles for some of the action
and ride with your favourite team.
Also
included are some interviews, and interactive information
on your favourite team and their vehicle. But probably the
most informative is a tour of the set by chief engineer, Greg
Bryant - who explains each game and some of the problems they
encountered during construction and filming.
It
was a shame that there was no clear link through this DVD's
main feature to show who had won the championship. But then
to be quite honest, who cares? Most kids will only want to
see non-stop action. Which is exactly what you get.
For
anyone that has outgrown Robot Wars, this is the natural
progression.
