Test Drive II: The Duel

Straight drivin'


Genre: simulation - driving

Publisher: Accolade

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Simple controls - gas, brake, shift up or down, and steer Just drove forward and ease around slow turns while avoiding traffic and dusting cops Satisfying as a true driving simulator. Kind of a guilty pleasure


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Levels are broken down into 2 min long segments where you get to the end and stop at the gas station. Race another car or just the clock Four different difficulty levels


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Drive a car. A Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini to be exact. The gas attendant at the end of each segment either praises or chides you which is funny. This game has a cool factor that is hard to describe.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Smooth animation of the terrain and the interior of the car creates a nice immersion. Scaling of the other vehicles is pretty bad though


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

The title/menu music is great. Gets my head bobbing every time. Sound effects are great, like road noises, honks, squealing tires and the police siren


Overall Score: 63

Review ID: 621
