Full Throttle: All-American Racing
DEV: We're done with the motorbike/jetski racing game! EXEC: Add Road Rash combatGenre: racing - bike
Publisher: Cybersoft
Year: 1995
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
The actual gameplay has a simulation feel to it. The vehicles have a feel weighty. You can kick opponents Road Rash-style but the kick is almost completely pointless as it doesn't have any more effect than simply bumping them. The feeling of speed is great once you get in first place and have only open road in front of you. The jet ski levels are far less interesting. It's a typical, flat Mode 7 racer with no turns whatsoever. You just go straight.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Two modes - motorcycles and jet skis. Motorcycle levels are much more interesting and fun to control since the terrains has hills and actual turns.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
It's a generic racing game with a Road Rash competition theme of ex cons racing each other completely tacked on. I suspect the game was done before an exec decided combat needed to be added to spruce up the game.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Lovely artwork that animates wellin the biking level. Nice framerate. The jet ski levels are less inspiring but not bad either. The track and backgrounds are alright with some silly stuff like a Rocky Mountain vista while driving through Florida. Yeah
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Not bad music. Absolutely no sound effects! Did someone forget to add those?
Overall Score: 46
