An Okay Racing Game

When I think of racing games, the one I have fond memories of is Need For Speed 2 Special Edition. A2 Racer 2 is an okay game, but there are a few thing that I hated, but I'll get to that later. First of all, let's analyse the graphics for a little bit. They look good, the car models, the city and the background all look good, although sometimes I feel that the cars look like they haven't finished graphically. The sounds of the engines and sirens are impressive for its time. However, I haven't heard any music at all. Maybe it's because of the copy I own or because I'm using DosBox. If anyone owns a copy that has music in it, would you let me know please? Thank you.Now let's get to the gameplay. The game is your standard arcade style urban racing game, where you race on the busy streets of some recognizable cities, such as Amsterdam. The control are the same as in any other racing game(accelerate, brake and turn), but you even have at your disposal a Turbo button, more like a NOS button in today's most racing game. However, the Turbo of your car is limited as shown by the Turbo Gauge on the UI, but not to worry because all the track have at least one gas station that will replenish your Turbo. The one thing I hate about this game is the collision with other cars. Whenever you hit a car frontally, you stop, which is logic, but when you hit a car from behind, the same thing happens. I can understand if you're hitting a truck or bus, but not a regular car. Worst of all, there are even police cars in the city that will chase you around and end up in front of you, stopping you by breaking in front of you, which is very annoying. Other than that, the game is actually fun, however this problem that could have been minor will frustrate you until you shut off the game.All in all, if you're looking for a different kind of challenge in racing games, you might wanna check this us. Who want just a fun arcade style racing game with 0 frustration, you might wanna stick to the Need For Speed games.
