"Great game. But could have been better."
The SNES game Super Off Road is a simple game that has versions on the arcade, pc, and others. I only had this game and Street Fighter II back in the SNES days, so replaying it once in a while is good even if only to hear the sound tracks. But let's get to dissecting the game.
DIFFICULTY / CHALLENGE: 2/10
This game is just too easy. If you've played games such as "Super sprint" or "Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat" you'll see this game was made to please the people who weren't good at those other games. You can easily finish the race (5 laps) while the computer controlled cars didn't finish even the 4th lap, and there's no difficulty setting to adjust. You can max out your car in a matter of minutes. And then there's nothing else to be done with the game as it loops forever. Perhaps setting personal records on each track would be a good goal if there was a time attack mode where you could choose which track to play and start out with 99 nitros. But the way the game is, it's just pointless. You will only have some real fun in 2 players mode, but really, what are the odds of having 2 people enjoying this game in the same town? unlikely.
CONTROLS: 10/10
Simple. You press right/left to steer, B to accelerate, Y to nitro boost and L/R to help steering faster. The game works wonderfully and if you lose it's your fault. You will not find yourself cursing the controller. Never. This one gets a perfect score from me.
MUSIC / SOUND TRACK: 8/10
I love the sound track for this game, it's very well made and there's a good variety in it. Excellent quality i would say, it's SNES after all. It only does not get a 10 because it gets repetitive, but that's more the gameplay's fault than anything else.
SOUND EFFECTS: 5/10
There's nothing special with the sound effects, they do their job but the game could very well use some voice samples to spice up the race a little.
GRAPHICS: 6/10
The graphics work well too, the animation is strange at first with the truck jumping excessively but there are many key frames on the animation. And the scenery is well drawn. Every screen in the game is well designed but nothing too fancy.
RE-PLAYABILITY 3/10
This is the main problem with the game. It's endless. So playing it once means replaying the same tracks over and over until you get tired of it and forget about it for a long time.
OVERALL SCORE: 5/10
They could have easily made this a great title with some more effort put into it, but the same can be said about many games. So check out this title if you like this kind of game, but if you don't, you're not missing anything.
