Hot Wheels (Atari ST Review)
When I saw the name Hot Wheels pop up in the tons of ST images I found I thought, "Cool! Hot Wheels has a racing game on the ST". So I thought I would try it out. Then the title screen appeared.
Not the Hot Wheels I was expecting but looks good at least. I grabbed the controller and tried it out. It's another top down racer and it doesn't look half bad but it is a bit jittery.
And it has tons of settings you can perform. But don't take my word for it...see for yourself.
So what's the catch? As good as it looks the drone cars can sometimes get confused. I raced a five lap race, crossed the finish line, and then...waited. I kept hearing the other cars bumping into something or each other. They never came back around after waiting for five minutes. I pressed the escape key in hopes it would exit the race which it did without question. I tried the same race again and noticed something weird. Take a look.
For some reason the drone cars would circle around the finish line after completing a single lap. Whether it is just on this track or other tracks I have yet to discover but will update with what I discover. Other than that it is a simple and fun top down racing game and I find the chubby cars visually appealing. This is one ST game I would recommend as long as it isn't taken seriously.
