Fatal Inertia Preview - PS3
What do you get if you cross classic future racing franchise Wipeout with ball-rolling collect-em-up Katamari Damacy? The answer is Koei’s Fatal Inertia - an intriguing twist on the standard zoom-and-zap formula of the genre.

The difference between Fatal Inertia and its numerous influences is suggested by its very title - it’s all about the physics. The game’s nominal weapons, magnets, are the key to this. Driving over a weapon pad to collect these gives you the power to fire said objects at your opponent. Should they stick, they’ll have exactly the effect you’d expect - hitting the side of a rival craft will cause the vehicle to veer off, while dropping one behind you might force your enemy’s nose into the ground.
