//CLASSIC//Motorsiege: Warriors of Primetime


Motorsiegeis a futuristic 3D car combat title (with cannons, lasers, missiles, mines and more) presented as a non-stop action TV sports show. According to the critics, the title was the best in its genre – even surpassing its big-name rival, Twisted Metal, in terms of quality. And all for a fraction of the price.
