This map is called Hex, in case you hadn't noticed from the title, and I've been pondering why it has such a nomenclature. Is it "Hex" because of its hexagonal centre with six track deviations? Or is it "Hex" because it will have you cursing the other drivers as they attempt to crash into you? Or is it "Hex" because the game is so downright crazy and chaotic (in a good way) that you will be screaming out "What the Hex going on here?!" - You may be thinking the same about this write up. Perhaps it's best I explain the map further.

Hex is a race map, and from the overview picture you'd be excused for thinking it appears average, but you'd be oh so wrong because this map is anything but average. You see, in a traditional race track there is only one way around the course; you go from start to finish and there's just one long line of drivers heading unidirectionally. Hex is nothing like that. In this map you all start facing the centre and are able to travel around the track in any direction you wish. The chances of you finding a driver heading the same direction as you are slim. The chances of you crashing head-first into another driver however are extremely likely. It's like shortkidpena has managed to control chaos itself, which is a paradox and should freak you out even more!

With Hex you will want as many people as possible in your party. The track design itself is wide and forgiving, and is not intended to provide a challenge; the other racers are intended as the challenge. Rather than a map with fixed scenery obstacles, you are faced with the ever-changing obstacle of other racers trying to take you off the road and into watery oblivion. It's in a large party where this map really comes alive and becomes something unique and hilariously fun that you will want to keep on your hard drive for a long time indeed.
