Super Off Road: The Baja
Low framerate but high mudflapsGenre: racing - arcade
Publisher: Tradewest
Year: 1993
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Low framerate Drive along narrow off-roads that wind through a desert. You don't turn so much as you have to pick which fork of the road to follow. Obstacles include ATVs, deer, and people who make you lose money, but not speed. Hazards like water, fallen logs, and cacti will slow you down, as does driving off-road. Nitros give a short boost and money bags and nitro canisters are strewn along the road. I fully expected to dislike this game but honestly it's pretty fun. Would be better as a multiplayer game but it's alright one player. The other drivers are hard to get around and are constantly there which gives the game tension and high stakes. That's the best part imo
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Unfortunately there are only three tracks and they're all the same. The first one has two 4 min segments and the other two have 4 and 8 respectively. So there's no replay value. This sort of follows the formula from the original game but here there's nothing orognal about the tracks.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Truck driving in Baja California. Not much personality
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
The trucks look good but animate poorly. Horrible framerate
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Gone are the awesome tunes and sounds from the original. They're replaced by forgettable noise.
Overall Score: 61
