Image: MobyGames

F1 Circus Special

The one with a Dictionary


Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: Nihon Bussan

Year: 1992

System: PCE CD


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

As unplayable as its predecessors. I cannot keep my car on the road. This series sucks.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Championship, Test Drive, and a Time Attack mode that lets you practice. I still can't qualify for a race against other cars, so I don't know what that experience is like.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Tons of Japanese text, including a Dictionary of racing terms! Lame presentation which frequently presents a mugshot of an old man. Maybe someone famous from that era? Who knows. Has faux licensing from Homda (aka Honda), Foad (Ford), Runault (Renault), Firerri (Ferrari), and other fake makes.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Simple pixel art but great sense of speed. Excellent framerate.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Music is a highlight, even if it's unmemorable.


Overall Score: 19

Review ID: 11031
