To make your way around Boiling Point's sprawling world, you'll want to rely on vehicles. Get ready for some tedious drives. Having to laboriously crisscross the countryside might add a sense of realism and immersion, but, man, it can get dull. The game's stuttering, coupled with twitchy driving controls and physics, make matters worse. At times, Boiling Point feels more like a "spinning off the road" simulator than anything, and we'd hate to tally all the innocent bystanders we accidentally ran over. Another downside to vehicles is that you have to fix flats and buy gas. Realistic? Yes. Fun? Not really. Bits of realism like that seem arbitrary in a game where you can heal yourself instantly by eating pineapples.​
