Nakajima Satoru Kanshuu - F-1 Grand Prix

Stare at the minimap

Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: Varie

Year: 1991

System: MD

Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Controls like F1 Circus but looks like Moto Roader in that you drive around a track via an overhead view which doesn't adjust to your perspective. In other words, left isn't always left. Thankfully there's a minimap so you can drive using that as your guide. In fact, I would stare at that and only see my car in my peripheral vision. The map is too small to do this so it made the game only slightly better.

Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Only two modes - G.P. and Spot Mode, which appears to be practice. All the usual F-1 tracks and car customization options.

Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Camera is too zoomed in for the speed of this sort of game. This is why I used the minimap more than usual. Otherwise ok graphics and pixel art.

Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Super annoying music

Overall Score: 29
