Race Arcade
SCORE: 70
Micro Machines racing video games have done donuts around Family
Friendly Gaming for over a decade. That is why I am so excited Family
Friendly Gaming is reviewing Race Arcade on the Xbox One. Iceflake
Studios provided us a digital download code for this race video game.
There are six different vehicles and one hundred tracks in this itty
bitty racer. I mean itty bitty in how large the vehicles are.
The first thing in Race Arcade that greeted me as a DOS like boot up
sequence. It was called IC-DOS. Neat little way to start your game. Then
I could pick single player, local multiplayer or options. I did not find
a difficulty slider in the options sadly. Which Race Arcade needs -
badly. Like red elf needing food in Gauntlet. Race Arcade is hard. Race
Arcade is tough. Race Arcade is difficult.
There are three course sections in the Career mode of Race Arcade. We
can enjoy the Career, Single Race, or Time Trial. When you win a race in
the Career of Race Arcade, you will start in last place for the next
race. This can make Race Arcade even more difficult because those cars
bunch up, and love to knock us off our line. Passing can be difficult
with so many cars racing.
I found I got stuck in a lot of places and on a lot of things in Race
Arcade. Whatever you do, do not cut off parts of the track. The lap will
not count, and Race Arcade does not even tell you. Everyone finishes and
you have to do another lap. Thankfully it is very easy to restart a race
in Race Arcade. In fact I restarted more in Race Arcade than I actually
completed races.
Why did I restart so often in Race Arcade? One mistake in Race Arcade
will put you last place. Maybe it just put me in last place all of the
time. There are generally not enough laps to catch up either. Which is
why I used the restart button so often. Race Arcade has small graphics,
with okay music. I did improve after practicing tracks multiple times. I
wish Race Arcade had some easy mode for casual gamers, and families.
