Super Monaco GP
For simulation fansGenre: racing - simulation
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1990
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Turns are short and abrupt. You have to use your brake to make it around them. Cockpit view. The top 20% of the screen shows your rear view mirror. Very much a simulation game. Feels slow, no minimal sense of speed. Controls are responsive. You can hold down in a long turn without having to make a lot of little adjustments.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
16 tracks. Practice, GP, and Championship modes.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Has one of the dumbest looking title screens ever in a racing game. It's a sexy model in a bathing suit next to the boring sign you've ever seen. And the sign doesn't even have the name of the game. Despite the ho hum title screen the presentation within the game is quite good. The HUD is well designed and packed with functionality. Makes you feel like a racecar driver.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Not too shabby in terms of the cockpit and animations, but the track doesn't move fast. The framerate is choppy and overall doesn't look good.
Audio Score: 0
Audio Notes:
Truly awful sound effects. Garbled voice samples. None of the sounds best any resemblance to the sound they represent. No in-game music.
Overall Score: 42
