You know it's a shame this didn't really take off, I mean it was enough that it got the Genesis treatment.

Gameplay and Story: There's no story, basically what you do is you race around the world (North and South America are merged into one stage because I guess there's no inbetween).

Graphics: Bit of an upgrade from the Sega Master System game, like whenever we crash, the bike doesn't explode on impact we actually flip off.

Soundtrack: This is another one of those games where you can pick the background music to use when you race.

Addictive: What racing game isn't, but it's not like there is an incentive or anything like race courses to unlock but maybe this game doesn't need it.

Depth and Difficulty: Yeah in this case I have opted to merge both together. So again this will depend how long you play there are four stages of difficulty and the harder the game the longer the race. Africa is four stages, while Europe has 18 (why isn't it the other way around? Africa is a bigger continent) There's also more fanfare when we cross the finish line so that's an improvement. Also I love that we have a nitro feature here but I only use it if we are at MAX speed and we are in a straight line (too fast and corners don't fix well).


Post review follow-up: So like I said in a previous review I do enjoy a good racing game because of how relaxing it can be (man I really got to play Mario Kart for SNES in it's entirety again because I need to add a Nintendo game to my reviews, but then again I only owned a NES briefly. But even more I wish I could re-review Road Rash 2 considering that it was one of my earliest reviews and the Tour de Vizzed has given me incentive to increase my word power rather than abbreviate.


This concludes my review, join me tomorrow when I...oh wait tomorrow is Monday I'll be at work, join me on Thursday when I review the 1999 Learning Company Re-release of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Now I've got to storyboard my review Wacky Races for Game Boy Color.
