Rock 'n Roll Racing
R.C. Pro-Am. With rock & rollGenre: racing - isometric
Publisher: Interplay Entertainment
Year: 1994
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
RPM Racing at double speed and with classic rock songs playing. Still the same ho hum gameplay, just a faster speed. Controls well enough although the core gameplay is a bit boring. Takes forever to make enough money to buy stuff to upgrade your car.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Fairly boring track designs. This time they're littered with armor and money ala Super Sprint but there are no features or obstacles in the mostly square tracks. Beyond being a series of right angles the tracks all look about the same. Some variety would've been nice. Only one mode - career mode.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Feels again like an "extreme 90s" motif which has not aged well. The setting and character designs seem to almost be aping F-Zero but in a very unattractive way. Not cute. The classic rock is the main feature of the presentation although it doesn't have any logical reason for being here. Whatever
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Bland graphics. Everything has a samey feeling. The animation is well done and moves beautifully but the artwork is just not great.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
That darn Genesis sound chip rears its ugly head. What am I saying? The Genesis doesn't have a sound chip. In any case, the music is still fun but sounds far worse than the SNES version.
Overall Score: 53
