Editorial Review
Product DescriptionMindScape has finally released the sequel to the classic adventure cyberpunk racing game, Megarace. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, you race along a set pathway, sort of like a roller coaster, but you can maneuver quite a bit in that little place - it's racing after all. GRAPHICS are cool - a lot sharper than the original. Any gamer should be impressed by this - though one should not expect to see something out of Babylon 5. The demo contained the track of Tibet - an interesting concept, though there is really nothing much that stands out and shouts "Tibet!!!" in a very loud voice. Could easily have been Japan or Taiwan. The graphics were made to impress, and I must say I have been. Beautifully integrated to give a feeling of speed. One thing I did not see, however, was a variable viewpoint. Slipstream 5000 offers the same gameplay with a customizable viewpoint, if with less sharpness to the graphics. GAMEPLAY: do remember that this is a roller-coaster sort of thing, not unlike Rebel Assault - there is no real free movement. It's basically only the illusion of movement because of the changing scenery, but I must say it is very well done. So if you're looking for a blast, if short, this is good. ALTERNATIVELY, if you're a fan of pure racing, stick with NASCAR. Fans of stock car racing with huge amounts of oomph should go with Demolition Derby. If you're into the roller coaster thing, Rebel Assault II will probably offer more atmosphere. People looking for a sort of roller-coaster game but with more freedom of movement should try Slipstream 5000. Or complete freedom of movement, Terminal Velocity - but that's not a racing game. Still worth a look though. THE BOTTOM LINE - if you want a cross between Demolition Derby minus pure impact (the cars don't crash as nice here), Rebel Assault minus the storyline and Slipstream 5000 minus the viewpoints, you'll love this Cached date: AWS Called=true
