F1 Circus MD for MD

F1 Circus MD

A few new curves


Genre: racing - overhead

Publisher: Nihon Bussan

Year: 1991

System: MD


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Unplayable, just like the original. It controls slightly better than the PC Engine version but not enough that I could actually qualify for a race. The only meaningful improvement is the inclusion of a minimap to show upcoming turns. They still spell impending doom, but at least I can see them coming!


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Only one mode and no meaningful customization. Tracks are all the same - go straight, turn left or right, straighten out, repeat. The only change from the previous title is that there are a few different kinds of turns. Exciting.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Minimal presentation but slightly improved from the original. Mostly English text in this version.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Poor pixel art but great sense of speed. Excellent framerate.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Music is a highlight, even if it's unmemorable.


Overall Score: 15

Review ID: 6022
