Rad Racer
Rad beyond all radness...
"Knight Rider" Now available at your local Toyota dealer... Beachside drive... but where's the ocean?
Ironhawk's Review
Graphics: 7 Graphics with all the power of the 8-bit racing game engine. You get a "3D" road, a double parallax background, and flickering cars.
Sound: 8 All of the different sound modes and cool car sounds are complemented by a super lame victory jingle. It's one sound channel. It's like saving the world in an RPG and getting "doop de dooo! Thanks for playing."
Playability: 8 Granted, I've never driven an 80's car at 150 MPH, but I'd think they'd have a little more traction than this. Oh well, it's needed to give the game it's challenge, so it works.
Concept: 2 It's a racing game. Party.
Retro Value: 9 One of the BGMs makes this game worth it's weight in plastic.
Overall: 8 A solid racer. Oh, and it's "rad".
Nightowl's Review
Graphics: 8 "3D mode", hill effects... but kinda sparse.
Sound: 9 Three different music tracks. But what's with the Stinkoman music? I smell a rip off... on the Brothers Chaps part...
Playability: 4 If feels like you're driving on ice... all the time. And when other car bump you, you go flying off the road. That's not cool...
Concept: 1 Mindlessly drive from one point to the other within the time limit... how novel...
Retro Value: 1 I'll stick with the much better sequel.
Overall: 5 Considering I could be playing Rad Racer 2 with better music, control, and graphics, and gameplay features... well, what would you choose
