RacingIt's the Radio Controlled car challenge where you are the red veichile. Start out with the truck, work your way to a van, and end up with a ferrari facing the evil drone blue, yellow, and cheating bastard orange veichiles. Race through 24 various tracks filled with numerous obstacles and make sure you don't finish last in order to continue! Will you be able to win all the gold trophies or will you be ousted?
Plot: Your goal is to maneuver your RC car through 24 tracks (and then after mastering them, you get to repeat them over and over to no end) attempting to beat the other three drone cars. While on your way, you can add tools to your veichile which can give it better acceleration, higher maximum speed, and turbo.
Sound: There isn't really any music in this game other than the introduction, trophy screen, and the one before the race that shows your car statistics. Other than that, you just have a lot of sound effects.
Graphics: The graphics aren't very intricate, but the game itself doesn't have many things to comprehend other than moving cars and lots of still objects. It's not that hard to distinguish things on the track and the objects are very easy to find. The hard part is to run over them at the speed you are going.
Challenge: Getting through the first 16 levels shouldn't be that hard, but once after that and especially after level 24, you'll have a hell of a time trying to survive. One mistake at this point and you might as well throw your controller on the ground and wait for the race to end. All the drones will move faster than your max speed. The idea of survival is using your weapons to shoot them down constantly. See if you can do the unthinkable and beat my 1993 record of reaching level 125!
Gameplay: VERY EASY game to control. The only things that would impede this are the oil slicks and water that is dispersed throught each track.
......BOTTOM LINE: I really like this game. The tense moments of racing can cause great silence in the room as you are playing. While I wish it was a 2-player game, it would be hard because one player could fall way behind and vice versa and how would you compensate that? Anyways, the only reason I ever had a chance to play this game is because SMB2 was sold out at our local store and it was a substitute from my dad. You'll enjoy playing it the first time. I guarantee frustration!
