Super F1 Circus for SFC


Image: MobyGames

Super F1 Circus

Press F1 for Help


Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: Nichibutsu

Year: 1992

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Prepare to crash. A lot. One crash and you're done because it takes so long to accelerate. The saving grace is that the brake works farily well, if timed right. It actually downshifts and again if timed right allows you to make even tight turns. Several modes, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to begin a tournament race with other racers.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Same set of tracks that the other F-1 sponsored games use. Turns are extremely difficult to make so the tight turns all over these tracks doesn't work well with an overhead racing game.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

F-1 and Lotus licenses, but none of the other car companies. Also, the menus and overall presentation are much lower than the F-1 Gran Prix games.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

NES quality sprites and backgrounds. It's an early release and looks it.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

There's an upbeat musical track playing but it's only a few measures so it gets old quickly.


Overall Score: 41

Review ID: 1863
