Battle Cars
F-Zero with no personalityGenre: racing - vehicle combat
Publisher: Namco
Year: 1994
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Plays a bit like F-Zero but without any personality. Getting knocked around wildly shakes the camera. You have unlimited ammo but there's a lengthy cooldown. Controls are responsive but it's a bit boring. Draw distance is short so you can't see much of the track. Powerups don't seem to do anything.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
The tracks are decent but the game seemingly has no structure. You just start the race and it ends randomly and then another race starts.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
It's a combat racing game. With a bunch of Mad Max-ish S&M characters. Not appealing.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
The cars look great. Performance is very good. The tracks and backgrounds are quite boring. Not a fan of the Mad Max style.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Music is rock-ish but it's weird because it continuously plays even when the race ends, when you shop for upgrades, and even into the next race. It just feels like one continuous games. It just feels weird.
Overall Score: 44
