NYR – New York Race

Description

New York Race is game about future racing. Game is inspired by Luc Besson’s film “Fifth Element”. There are more than 30 high-tech flying machines to choose and pilot (including the notorious Taxi and the cool police car).

There are four different modes available in NYR, the main one being the Championship mode that takes place over four different categories; Qualification, Beginner, Pro and Expert. Other modes include Single Race, Time Attack and the rather cool Keirin mode, that eliminates the contestant in last place at every checkpoint until the last man remains.

In every race, you can pick up 4 elements which give you an added advantage: Water – leaves a liquid sphere behind you that slows your opponents down if they hit it, Fire – allows you to shoot a homing fireball at your opponents, Earth activates a temporary shield and Air – gives you a speed boost. 3 Dimensional action allows the player complete freedom of movement on a vertical and horizontal axis. The races take place on 12 tracks, which can be unlocked by advancing through levels. The tracks are divided into four districts: Jet Set, Middle Class, Seedy District and China Town. …

Off-Road Redneck Racing

Description

Off-Road Redneck Racing is a backwoods racing game, featuring a variety of off-road vehicles, ranging from buggies to pickup trucks. The tracks are set in off-road environments, such as a swamp or farm land. The main single player aspect consists of a championship mode, in which the player can gain upgrades and join teams as they progress. Other single player modes are the challenge races against computer opponents, or time trials to beat a set record. Various in-game options can be adjusted, such as the season and weather. Network play was also supported against other human players.

As shown on the box art and title, the game is technically a spin-off of the Redneck Rampage series of video games. The original Redneck Rampage games were a first-person shooter based on the Build engine, also for the PC. The game featured two rednecks (shown on the box art for Off-Road Redneck Racing) using a variety of weapons to battle aliens and brainwashed townsfolk in backwoods locations. The original 1997 game had strong sales, and also spawned another spinoff, titled Redneck Deer Huntin’; however, Off-Road Redneck Racing is the only game in the series not to use the aforementioned Build engine. …

Cabela’s 4×4 Off-Road Adventure

Description

Cabela’s 4×4 Off-Road Adventure is action-packed, though mildly frustrating, and will likely be a hit with value conscious fans of off-road mud and snow action. If you’ve ever driven a powerful machine off the beaten path, the simulation will bring back some good memories. The sheer number of vehicles available for use in the different play modes is an asset, and gamers can paint each vehicle in an almost limitless variety of color schemes. The machines can be “souped” up as play advances from stage to stage.

The most notable drawback is the lack of consistency in gameplay. Certain game modes and tracks are incredibly easy, while others are impossibly difficult. Oddly, the game features a backward rewards system for modifying vehicles. For example, complete a snow track and you receive snow tires, not the other way around. Unfortunately, there aren’t any more snow tracks in the particular game mode where you might be able to use them. …
