Pole Position 2 is the sequel to Pole Position. It improved on it in every way. More tracks, more speed, better graphics, and better sound. It got ported on to the Atari 7800, and was used as the pack-in game. How faithful is this version to the arcade? Keep reading to find out.

Gameplay B+: Thankfully the gameplay remains fun, and addictive. You're car controls great, and switching between gears is a breeze. The CPU cars are not intelligent, but at least they don't drive all over the place. The gameplay isn't perfect though. A map of the track would be nice because the choppy scaling makes it difficult to anticipate turns at the right time. Also, I hate how punishing the crashes can be. Then again I could be just nit picking.

Graphics A-: While not faithful to the arcade, the graphics are still impressive for an Atari 7800 game, more so a launch title. The cars look very detailed, with their rounded, shiny look. The tracks, and backgrounds look great as well. The only problem is the slow choppy scaling. Its not terrible, but it could be improved.

Sound A: The sound is quite good, the sound effects are simple, yet effective. The sound of cars passing each other sounds great. Better yet, the intro tune is easy on the ears.

Replay Value C-: Despite it being an arcade game, I found no incentive for going back and beating my time or score. So Pole Position 2 is fun for about 10 minutes, but it wears off quickly.

Depth A: Pole Position 2 has a lot to offer compared to its predecessor. There are 4 unique tracks, each with their share, of turns, scenery, and other stuff. This definitely beats the single track Pole Position 1 had to offer.

Difficulty Medium Easy: Pole Position 2 has a challenge, but its not hard enough to feel like an arcade style game. Dodging other cars is very easy, and crashing is a rare occurrence.
