Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku for PCE CD
Review #11028
Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku
River City Gourmet Race
Gameplay
This is an odd one. Technos took their River City Ransom beat em up mechanics and built a little party game around it. The controls are what you'd expect from this franchise, including the annoying requirement of double tapping to run, which wouldn't be a problem if your opponents weren't capable of running without any delay. This makes the Gourmet Race-like mode extremely challenging since the other racers are always faster than you. Still, there's some fun to be had here, expecially multiplayer.
Level Design
There are a handful of modes, including a couple of races across numerous screens which is a mixture of Kirby Super Star's Gourmet Race, Motoroader, and Battletoads. Another mode is a straight up Smash Bros fight to the death cage match. Unfortunately, there are only a few of these games, so you can experience the entire game in about 20 minutes.
Theme
The japanese text makes it difficult to navigate menu after menu to play all of the minigames.
