Fast Lane Carnage

No technological glitch could lure people from what is the heart of video games: a good gameplay.

...as the Fast Lane Carnage manual says. Mais oui, Comrade Millet.

From this, you may conclude the developer's English is not so good--and also, to be sure, that the aesthetic of the game is one that Manifestoites will find wholly sympathetic. But for all that--this is a very French game.

Not French as in the France of the Guide Michelin, the Rive Gauche, or Jacques Chirac. Rather, the France of Mobius, Metal Hurlant and the bandes dessinee, the gritty, adult French comics that are as alien to the American form as Japanese manga; of the bizarre Franco-Algerian slang of the French underworld; of the polar noir, movies even bleaker and more brutal than their American counterparts.
