Moto Racer
Review from the Net
Moto Racer Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Delphine Racing 1 or 2 players Moto Racer takes the high speed action of motorcycle racing in a detailed 3D arcade environment. There are two different types of racing within 10 varied tracks ranging from the street racing type tracks to the high jumping dirt tracks of motocross racing. Once in the air after jumping off of a hill or mound the player can perform a trick to show off his skills. There is 2 player split screen and the standard three types of races ranging from the championship to the single race and the always cool practice mode against the clock. The level design in the game is superb as is apparent in the "Great Wall" track which pits you against the other racers atop a simulated Great Wall Of China. (9) Graphically, this game doesn't look as good as its 3Dfx enhanced counterpart, but taken strictly on its PlayStation merits, this game looks really good. However, the gameplay does have some minor flaws. For example, the driving physics I found just a little too sensitive. In fact, I found myself throwing my controller a few times simply because the turning was a little too accurate. This game needs power slides. You can choose between different view point. First person is a blast especially on the motocross racing - it's as real as I would want to get it's that good. What I really like is when you are going at max certain parts of the track like in moto racing, your bike would look like it's vibrating (good sense of realism) (8.5) Sound: Here is where the game falters the most. The sound and music in the game are repetitive and very boring. The music fails to capture the spirit of the fast paced racing style and the constant buzzing of the motorcycle's engine becomes irritating and annoying. Too bad they could not incorporate music like Bush "machine head" or Judas Priest " turbo lover" wow just imagine that combination in a game. (8.5) Replay value: Good variety of tracks. Once you have finished first in the races you are able to try riding the tracks in reverse. (8.5) Overall: Moto Racer is a fabulous game that incorporate some good variety in dirt biking and moto racing. You will get a great sense/appreciation for the people who actually do this kind of thing for a living- what a rush garys
