Street Racer for MD PAL
Review #6839
Street Racer
Play the SNES version instead
Gameplay
Responsive controls, but a severe lack of variety or mechanics holds this one back. It's a decent racing game, like OutRun as a competitive racer.
Level Design
The lack of Mode 7 makes this one seem like all the other arcade racers, always moving toward a horizon that you'll never actually reach. This makes the concept of laps seem foreign to the gameplay. Tracks simply end without any notice or buildup. The "tracks" are simply a series of left and right turns. They all seem very similar to one another, save for different cosmetic colorings.
The other modes (Battle and Soccer) are pathetic here, due to the limitations of the hardware. Those only worked on the SNES version.
Theme
I like the crazy, eclectic bunch of racers.
Art Style
Very impressive, especially for a Genesis game. The scrolling is light years ahead of similar racers on the system, even if it's not as convincing as the Mode 7 from the SNES version. Great use of color.
