Cyber Spin for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Cyber Spin

Go overhead Speed Racer


Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: Takara

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Extremely simple controls. See my comments over on Battle Grand Prix. Just hold the gas button and turn to the left or to adjust the angle of your car. Whereas BGP moved in 11.25 degree increments this one is 22.5 meaning that there are fewer button presses each time you turn. This makes it easier to turn, but the game is still barebones in terms of what's happening so the overall experience isn't markedly different.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Who knows? I couldn't get past the qualifying lap. I consistently completed a lap in 46 seconds but the minimum required time was 45 seconds. After 8 tries I was done for good


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

See my notes on BGP. Overhead driving games are not fun


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Extremely simple graphics that at least have some nice colors and cute Speed Racer-style car models.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

You can barely hear the music behind the obnoxious engine noise. Mute this game


Overall Score: 22

Review ID: 124
