Top Gear 2 for Genesis

Top Gear 2

Easily the best racing game on the Genesis


Genre: racing - arcade

Publisher: Vic Tokai

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Turning is very forgiving. Not as forgiving as the SNES original but you only have to feather the gas to make it around very sharp turns. Clever use of arrows along the side of the track which give you ample time to see upcoming turns. More racing games should do this. Easy difficulty is very welcome. Difficult to pass but not impossible as the road is 3-4x wide. However opponents tend to drive directly in front of you so it's annoying to pass them.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Fun tracks with mostly gradual turns. There are even tracks where you get some air.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Generic. Not much personality. But presented well


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Full screen this time around. Great graphics. Performs extremely well.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

No in-game music. Major letdown. I was expecting good things like the SNES version.


Overall Score: 65

Review ID: 1341
