R.C Pro-Am, was a unique racer for its time. It was so influential that it had several rip offs for the better (Super Off Road) or the worse (Super Sprint.) Instead of focusing on 3D scaling sprites. R.C Pro-Am, is viewed from an isometric point of view. Making it easy to pick up and play, but difficult to put down. You race with remote control cars, that apparently can go as fast a typical car. On with the review of this fun game.
Gameplay A-: R.C Pro-Am is a well constructed game. The track designs are pretty good, and the racing is unpredictable. You can be in last place and still win the race, and vice versa. The tracks are littered with useful, and annoying objects. The useful objects are weapons, that either launch at your opponent or hit one behind you, you have letters that spell NINTENDO. Once you collect all the letters, you will race with a better car, but watch out, its the same for your opponents. In addition, you have random parts that automatically upgrade your car. The obstacle's include, water puddles, oil puddles, rising walls, and speed boasts, which help you. Now on with the real meat of the game, the control. That's where this game succeeds is in the control department. Your vehicle controls, and turns really well. What is there to hate about this game, well the obstacle placement can be cheap at times, but other then that, R.C Pro-Am is more entertaining then most of today's racers.
Graphics B-: The graphics are pretty average. The scenery is bland and uninteresting, and the vehicles are generic as well. Thankfully, there's not the mess of scaling sprites that plagued many racing games in the 80s, and early 90s. Despite the game looking generic, there are some nice details in the sprites.
Sound B: The music makes few appearances, and when it does. Its not too great, but it is catchy. The sound effects on the other hand are great. There's not a whole lot I can say here.
Addictivness A: R.C Pro-Am, has a distinct arcade flavor, that is easy to pick up, but difficult to put down. The races are short, but fun and exciting. Its really satisfying to win a race, and hit your opponents with weapons. While upgrading your vehicle. Overall, this game is easy to find, and will give you many hours of enjoyment.
Depth: A-: There are a stunning 36 tracks in the game. Okay not really, some of them are recycled with more oil spills, or water puddles. Still, you will barely notice. The amount of upgrades your car can take is just right, and there's just enough stuff in the game to keep you occupied.
Difficulty Medium: Overall a well balanced game in terms of difficulty. Anyone can master this game.
