River City Gourmet RaceGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Naxat Soft
Year: 1992
System: PCE CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
This is an odd one. Technos took their River City Ransom beat em up mechanics and built a little party game around it. The controls are what you'd expect from this franchise, including the annoying requirement of double tapping to run, which wouldn't be a problem if your opponents weren't capable of running without any delay. This makes the Gourmet Race-like mode extremely challenging since the other racers are always faster than you. Still, there's some fun to be had here, expecially multiplayer.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
There are a handful of modes, including a couple of races across numerous screens which is a mixture of Kirby Super Star's Gourmet Race, Motoroader, and Battletoads. Another mode is a straight up Smash Bros fight to the death cage match. Unfortunately, there are only a few of these games, so you can experience the entire game in about 20 minutes.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
The japanese text makes it difficult to navigate menu after menu to play all of the minigames.
