What Kind Of Game Is This?
This is a driving game which is loosely based (and I use the term based loosely) on the movie of the same name, or perhaps a little less loosely, on the two sequels.
Gimme A Plot
In part one you try to get to the arena. In part two you try to get out of the arena. Then you do this two more times. And then, you kill the big bad guy in a duel.
How Do You Get To The Arena?
You must drive around, destroying other cars, find gasoline, find the key, buy an arena pass, buy dynamite to get into the arena, all while not getting yourself killed or falling down a hole. There is a short part where you must leave your car and shoot people. That's fun.
And The Arena?
You avoid getting killed by other cars and falling into pits. Once you do that for a while, the exit magically appears and you can leave.
And The Big Bad Guy?
I wasn't having enough fun to spend the time getting there.
What's So Bad About The Game?
Everything.
Okay, The Worst Thing.
The actual driving part. Instead of using the driver's perspective, the control pad responds to the player's perspective. So left means the car goes left on the screen. If you're going north and want to go southwest, you don't hold left until you're turned the right direction.. You would hold left until you're facing to the left, then hold down until your facing southwest. Turning around is impossible. I fell into numerous pits and ran into countless cliffs. Not fun.
Who Would You Recommend This To?
Yeah. Right.
