Battle Cars
SCORE: 75
I am very thankful I had enough money to
purchase Battle Cars on the Evercade Namco Collection 1 cartridge. This
racing video game reminds me of F-Zero in terms of the graphics and how
we go around the corners. We can use weapons to blow away the
competition in Battle Cars as well. I mean that literally too. We shoot
cars in front of us to spin them out and pass them. Each car has a life
gauge to it. Which means we must deplete that gauge to spin them out.
Battle Cars looks better than a lot of video games on the Evercade
system. Battle Cars was a Super NES title so that has something to do
with it. Battle Cars can be played with one player, two players, and
there is a VS. Mode. Players pick from three vehicles in Battle Cars.
The vehicles can be upgraded as the player works their way through the
different levels in Battle Cars. There are other racers we compete
against in the single player mode.
Hopefully you were able to catch the live stream I did where Battle Cars
was featured. That has been converted into a video that will be
appearing on our video sites as we get the finances and bandwidth to do
so. The violent aspect of Battle Cars is much lower than I was
expecting. In fact players can race Battle Cars completely clena if they
so choose. I had fun playing Battle Cars on the Evercade system.
Battle Cars looks nice and it sounds good. The races are long and
players are given numerous opportunities to recover from mistakes. Just
make sure you are in first place at the end of the final lap. Otherwise
you will need to replay that race level in Battle Cars. The racers we
compete against will talk to use before a match as well. The graphics on
them is really well done as well.
I missed Battle Cars back in the day. As a historical gamer I am very
happy to have been able to play and review Battle Cars on the Evercade
and of course Super NES. If you like racing video games then Battle Cars
might be up your alley. The violence is toned down from many modern
video games and the racing is pretty fun.
