Uniracers

[thordog]

If there is one game worth remembering from my childhood than this is it. Unlike most racing games that you see today, which have a behind the back perspective; this game had a platformer-style side view. This spectacular game is one of the more overlooked games on the Super NES that is actually worth buying at Game Trader (Louisiana's equivalent to FunCoLand), plus <b><i>Tetris 3</i></b> to go with it. It's a damn shame that most of today's video games are full of boring shit(<b><i>Armored Core</i></b>, <b><i>Metal Gear: Sons of Liberty</i></b>, <b><i>Halo</i></b>,all of the recent <b><i>Final Fantasy</i></b> games {including FF7}, <b><i>Virtua Fighter 4</i></b>, and <b><i>Tekken</i></b> are some of the most overhyped trash that I have played) and it any chance of recovery from this scar that Sony Computer Entertainment and many of these sell-out companies have caused is slim to none. While Nintendo, Sega, Totally Screwed Entertainment(creators of <b><i>Zombie Smashers X</i></b>), and many independent companies are making truly original and innovative material; Sony and possibly Microsoft are causing many companies to churn out games that not only desecrate their genres(<b><i>Rage of Dragons</i></b> &amp; <b><i>Matrimelee</i></b>, <b><i>Kingdom Hearts</i></b>, <b><i>Half-Life</i></b>), but their Creators' greatness as well. If you want another of my video game Ramblings then check out my review of <b><i>R-Type 2</i></b>. Now let my review commence...<BR><BR> Game Play: Completely new for racing games. This game has a trick system that not only racks up points, but it also increases your speed. There is the level variety, which also adds to the gameplay.<BR>They range in from stunt stages, drag-racing, to normal race courses in case you're wondering.<BR><BR> The graphics are well-done, but they can get rather repetitive at times. However, there are some pseudo-3d effects that makes it much nicer too look at.<BR><BR> Music &amp; Sound: I don't clearly remember the sound, but the music is ok perhaps.<BR><BR> Originality: If you have read what I said above, then you know what I mean.<BR><BR> In the end, Uniracers is one game that is definitely worth your time; especially if you still keep your NES and Super NES.
