Power Drive for SNES PAL


Image: MobyGames

Power Drive

The Italian Job meets R.C. Pro Am


Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: U.S. Gold

Year: 1995

System: SNES PAL


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Rally racing. No other cars to contend with. Actually there's always one other racer, but they are way faster than you so you'll never really see or interact with them. A flashing arrow alerts you about upcoming turns. Your car bounces around unexpectedly. Takes some getting used to. Pretty fun movement...it's just a shame that there's so little to do. You can pick up a few items which I assume give you money and one that gives you a burst of speed.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Only one mode plus a practice mode. Nice tracks which are wide and have a few features like ramps. There are patches which slow you down but these are difficult to spot.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Boring. Not much personality.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

All cars are identical. They animate beautifully! Significantly better looking that the Genesis version with much better use of color.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Fun, mellow music. Unlike the Genesis version, sounds effects in this one.


Overall Score: 61

Review ID: 3922
