| Introduction:
This is the game that started the great Top Gear series by Kemco that
has continued into the N64 era. This is one of the best racing games
availlable for the Snes next to Top Gear 2. This game came out in
1992 at a time when the only racers available were F-Zero and SMK.
Graphics [8/10]:
The grahics in this game are very good but not much detail and they
repeat to often in one race and very often objects such as the arrow
signs in the bends in a race are taller them your car so they don't
look right if you look at it. The cars are very detailed and look like
real cars but the car only has 3 or 4 positions so it never looks very
different. but don't get me wrong, the graphics in this game are
still very good!! One other problem is pop up, but you never notice it
unless you waych someone else race. the frame rate is very good in this game.
Music & Sound [10/10]:
The music is very good for a Snes and the music always seems perfect
for the track you are on and is one of the few racing games you can say
have good music. the sound effects are not as good but dont effect it the
game that much and when you fire a nitro it sounds great.
Game Play [10/10]:
The control in this game is great and you have four different cars to
pick from. You can only change the transmission on your car, either
automatic or manual. its very easy to get used to contolling your car
and the game is great with 2 players with a split screen. but i have
one problem with the split screen, its always there even in a one player
game with the bottom half being the computer.There are 20 cars in a
race and in higher skill levels you can have a hard time passing cars. The
brakes in this game are almost worthless so i just let go of the gas
a second on hard turns.
Challenge & Replay [10/10]:
The challenge in this game was not that difficult but on higher
evels it can get hard to rank 1st on certain races. You have 32 races in
his game so you have a lot of variety. Even after haveing the game for a
year i still play it often.
Conclussion/Overall [9.5/10]:
This is a great buy at only 20 dollars(used) at most stores and i highly
recomend this game for any racing fan with a high replay value and
a safe buy for anyone!!!
