Race the Sun is a neat little game that I was able to get from another user for Viz and I'm pretty glad that I ended up getting this. I knew nothing of the game when I first downloaded it, literally the only reason I bought it was because I thought the title was cool. Once I tested it out for the first time, I couldn't stop playing it. I would play it over and over again, and I loved it. The entire main game comes with 25 levels and it took me about a week to completley beat the game and then I started a brand new game and recorded myself playing it just because I liked it so much to start over again.

GRAPHICS 8/10

The graphics are very simple, but in a way all of the graphics combine to create this visually stunning environment based on what your tastes are. The game pretty much revolves around various shapes that serve as obstacles and a handful of dull colors but the way that the graphics interact with the game itself makes the game really energetic and appealing. When it comes to mods that users create, the graphics can get even better because some take these simple shapes and recreate them to make beautiful obstacles and wild colors. To some, the game may look pretty bland, but to others it can look really appealing and for that I am going to give the graphics an 8 out of 10.

SOUND 10/10

To me, the sound is simply amazing, it's energetic and vibrant, and it's the kind of music that you could listen to even when you are not playing the game because it's fast paced and fun to listen to. Though when you are playing the game, you can feel the full effect of the music, as the sun begins to set the music turns to a fast yet dark pace that in a way gives off the sense of dread because you are about to die while there are other times where the music startles you or can even make you more eager to make it past a level because it refreshes you. There are only a handful of different songs in the game, maybe four or five, but they are all amazing and I am going to give this category a perfect 10 out of 10.

STORY N/A

I am not really going to give this category a grade because there is no true story at all, the only thing you are doing is trying to stay alive as long as you can and try to get a higher score each time you play. The only thing that would come close to a story would be the missions that you must complete to gain higher levels, but that's about it so there will be no grade for story.

ADDICTIVENESS 9/10

At times this game can be very addicting. As I had mentioned, I had beat all of the missions of the game, 75, and then I had reset the entire game and started over. I did that so I could record the series, even though I had already played about 10 hours to get to that point, but I didn't mind doing every mission all over again because I had a lot of fun playing it. This is a very fast paced game and the map that you play on changes slightly every day so you are always seeing something a bit different and every day you will be facing a new challenge and kept on your toes. After that, there is a variety of different mods that you can check out, all of which offering a unique experience that you can run through for hours at a time. The game is very addicting and for tat I am going to give this category a 9 out of 10.

DEPTH 7/10

When it comes to the depth of this game, I am kind of split on it because there's only a little bit for you to do, while at the same time there's a lot. It's confusing, but it's true. The main game offers just one large map that changes every day and the only thing that you are doing is driving your little spacecraft through each region while trying to avoid obstacles and trying to get as far as you can without the sun going down. That's really all that there is to the game, not mush else aside for the mods. The mods do help bring up the score though because there are many of them, most of which are actually really cool, some of the mods were even put into the main game through the use of portals. One other aspect of the game that could increase the depth score would be the actual size of the map, which is pretty big. I have never gotten past region 10, though I have sen some people get all the way up into the 30's which means that there is a lot to explore. Overall I am going to give the depth of the game a score of 7 out of 10.

DIFFICULTY 7

The game can be quite difficult at times because of the fast pace and in some cases based on the daily map generation which can be quite tough. In order to succeed in this game you need to be able to be quick and see every obstacle, where it is, whether it's moving, what's behind it. If you can't keep up with those, then it will be difficult for you to avoid certain obstacles. It will also help if each time you die you remember what you did so you can recreate that flight path. Unless you are already very skilled at similar games, it's going to take a while just to get into region 4, and a lot of patience will be required, but even though the game can be very difficult, it's still a lot of fun. My overall grade for difficulty will be a 7.

OVERALL 8.8/10

Overall this game is a lot of fun and I love it, though if it could have been cheaper I would have loved it even more. The game costs $10 which I don't actually feel is fair for what the game offers, but if you are like me and you like it so much that you play it for countless hours, then some would say that the price is worth it, but if you don't feel you would play the game for more than a couple of hours, it's not worth it. Overall, if you like games like this, I suggest that you test it out and my overall grade for this game is going to be an 8.8 out of 10.
