- Traffic Assault offers real-time 3D gameplay based on bike riding and police chases in a browser.
- The game features 100+ missions, multiple challenges, various bikes, and tons of content.
- It serves as yet another example of just how far browser games have come in the past few years.
Browser games weren’t always so great, but lately, they’ve really come into their own. Keeping the trend going, Traffic Assault, a free motorcycle game, offers a 3D experience that works in your browser.
Playing the game is as simple and easy as it gets, requiring no additional downloads or launcher.
Why it matters: Browser games have always been quite popular, but the genre has never been better today.
A 3D Game In A Browser Tab
Traffic Assault makes full use of WebGL, so roads, bikes, cars, and crashes are all rendered in full 3D. This also means that elements like the mirrors work with real reflections.
The game supports both keyboard controls on PC and touchscreen inputs on smartphones and tablets. Progress is also saved in-game through the browser itself, and Traffic Assault even supports multiple languages, such as English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Police Chases
The thrill of the experience comes from police chases. While traveling on your bike, each time you pass a patrol at more than 5km/h, it comes after you, so things ramp up gradually.
As the chase intensifies, patrols will set up roadblocks and even close the lanes ahead. If players find themselves caught by the police, their run ends, but successfully evading them allows players to cash in an ongoing bounty.
Interceptors also come with their own names, such as the Raptor 520, the Falcon 640, and Titan V8 710.
A Total of 112 Missions
Despite being a browser game, Traffic Assault features a total of 112 missions across the south-east of Spain. 48 of these are side missions across 8 chapters. These missions take players through Almeria city and the Tabernas Desert to Cabo de Gata, the Alpujarra and the mountains of Calar Alto.
Missions also feature duels with rival riders, escorts, tailing jobs, etc. As such, there’s plenty of variety in Traffic Assault. The three open modes on long roads: Endless, Time Trial, and Free Ride, provide further additional content for players after the missions are completed.
Also, there are 24 Almería challenges for players who want even more content. Traffic Assault also offers Night Hunt as a mode for after dark. It consists of eight operations of 3.6 to 9 km, each on its own corridor, with rain, interceptors, checkpoints, and hideouts along the way.
When playing the game, you start on the Hikari 650 Neo and work your way up to the Tormenta S2-R and its 306 hp. Different bikes feature attributes like power, weight, and brakes for a varied feel.
Bikes can also be upgraded across the engine, gearbox, brakes, tyres, chassis, and electronics.
Verdict
Traffic Assault serves as a solid arcade game for those fond of riding bikes. Despite being a browser game, it offers substantial amounts of content, including first-person 3D gameplay, police AI that escalates, 112 campaign missions, and more.
Because of all this, the game is certainly worth checking out. Note that Traffic Assault is made by MAVA Games, the studio behind the free browser games portal of the same name, where it can be played for free.
