Newman Haas' Indy Car Featuring Nigel Mansell
You shall not PASS!Genre: racing - simulation
Publisher: Acclaim
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Cars are so huge that it's nearly impossible to pass them..they take at least 1/3 of the road. Excellent controls are ruined by a horrible racing experience. Lots of fun to play in Practice or Vs mode but horrible as a Championship racer. Controls are nice where you hold down the button on turns rather than making a ton of small button presses. Controls much better than the Genesis version. This one has some weight in the physics. Feels nice.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Same tracks as the Michael Andretti game but they have a lot more curves here.
Theme Score: 0
Theme Notes:
All I can think of is Jerry Seinfeld saying "Newmannnn" Generic F1 racer. Menus and such look positively amateur when compared to the impressive in-game visuals. Really poor presentation. Oh and that title is one of the dumbest game names ever. Totally unapproachable
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Pretty amazing performance. Really cool cockpit view. The sense of speed is incredible. Animations and scaling of cars is tremendous. Very impressive
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Meh. Dumb menu music
Overall Score: 52
