The open beta test for Onrush, the arcade racer with no proper races in it, has been stampeding along over the weekend, giving players the chance to get to grips with the game's unique brand of team-based vehicular action. If you're enjoying it, or if you've not yet had a chance to jump in, good news -- the beta has been extended to Tuesday 22nd May.
This gives players even more time to get acquainted with some of the vehicle classes and modes, as well as level up to unlock rewards in the full release. What's more, Codemasters has added two new tracks to boost around, namely Sanctuary Shore and Blast Pit.
Have you been playing the Onrush open beta? What do you make of it so far? Are you convinced by its unique gameplay, or would you still prefer a standard racing game? Go into overdrive in the comments below.

Will probably get this when it's part of Flash Sale on PSN.
I'm loving it. I hit the level 25 required to unlock all the full game rewards on the same night I started playing it. It's just so unique and so much fun. It's like the racing version of a hero shooter.
Had 30mins on the demo last night and nearly deleted. I normally enjoy just about any racing game but this just didn't do it for me. Will give it another go when I get more time / have more energy. Was maybe a bit tired from a 7hr round trip to take three of my sons to Cardiff for the Monster Trucks!
Reminds me so much of motorstorm that it makes me sad and not want to play it
I'm really enjoying it too,and this is from someone who said they weren't interested once 'No races' was mentioned.Ive not had much time to play but I have reached level 7.However,the game won't be a day one buy...probably in a good sale.
I'm still not sure what to make of it tbh. It's the sort of game I could play in short/quick sessions, but doubt I'd buy at full price. Will wait for the reviews.
Got bored very quickly
I tried really really hard to get into this but I just couldn't. The takedows felt sooooo inconsistent and random, sometimes I would get taken out when I was trying to take someone out. Also how is team work and communication supposed to work? Controls need a lot of work imo

This game was a big disappointment. I had many issues with the game along with what you mentioned but my biggest issue is that the game never made me feel suspense and any sort of blood pumping experience that many competitive games offer. Bare minimum, when playing your typical racing game, you have the adrenaline rush of battling for first place and I never had any experience with this game that came close to offering that feeling.
Really bland. Got bored quickly. BLUR this is not.
Nope. Motorstorm this is not.
Deleted after about 20 minutes. Shame as the developers are really talented and this might just close them for good.
Game won't run correctly on my launch day PS4. The car appears as a ball of light with black polygon shards, while the rest of the image seems torn with textures and assets missing. Had a similar issue with Uncharted 4 until a patch sorted the problem. Anybody else?
I nearly pre-ordered this game then I played the game. Too many things not to like. They missed a trick should have just made a new Motorstorm. I guess a lot of players went into it thinking it was going to be similar to that game.
Couldn't try it. Downloaded it and just kept getting an error, something along the lines of: "The beta servers are full. Please try again later."
Deleted it earlier today, and won't be bothering with the game. Doesn't really grab me due to the idea of 'endless' races and no real goal. Would much rather Sony had retained Evolution and provided us with a DriveClub sequel.
