STREET RACER: THE WACKIEST RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
|
Guildhall Leisure's latest licence is Street Racer, and as with
Civilization CD, Guildhall are pleased to
announce Epic will have European distribution rights to this latest and
possibly best Amiga racer CD.
Comic Book-Like 3-D Racing Game for the Playstation, Saturn, PC, Game Boy
and now the Amiga and Amiga CD. Up to 8 Players Simultaneously
 Step on the gas, get your funny bone ready and prepare to burn rubber till
your tires are bare! You can do it all with Street Racer, a gritty and witty new 3-D
racing game developed by Vivid Image for Ubi Soft Entertainment. Available for the Sony
Playstation, Sega Saturn Nintendo, PC Game Boy platforms and now the Amiga, the game takes place in
a kooky cartoon world with 3-D environments ranging from Mount Rushmore to
Transylvania and the revolutionary option of linking up to eight players simultaneously. A
unique split-screen mode even makes it possible to view all the players at once.
 A cross between Super Mario Cart and Street Fighter, Street Racer
features eight different races, 24 challenging game tracks, four
difficulty levels and eight cartoon opponents with names like Frank
Instein, Green Machine and Surf Sister. Each character wields special
weapons ranging from towels to the ability to fly, and each also has a
special musical theme reflecting his or her personality.
For maximum variety and challenge, the game offers multiple race options
ranging from one-lap sudden death races to 30-lap endurance contests,
plus a choice of four different gameplay modes. These include a practice
option where players can test their skills against any driver; a basic
Head-to-Head mode for two players racing on one selected track; a
Championship mode that allows players to design their own race, mixing
tracks and difficulty levels if desired; and a Rumble mode with a time
bomb in the middle for the fiercest, may-the-best-driver-win fight to
the finish. Multiple players can even choose the same character and car.
Fifty-frame-per-second animation offers incredible detail, even in the
eight-player split-screen mode. Different viewing and playback options
make it possible to experience every grueling twist, turn and obstacle
in your path from varied camera angles and positions, with independent
controls for each window in multiplayer modes. There are also 10
different fast starts for players to explore and built-in fast laps on
each track for drivers to beat.
 The game is also packed with bonus points and special surprises,
including a hidden track and character that show up at various points
along the way. Players receive extra points for causing damage to other
cars and for finishing a race damage-free. Cars that incur damage are
penalized with slower performance. Repair kits available along the track
can reverse the damage. And turbo boosts that can be picked up along the
way provide short bursts of super-speed.
Street Racer will be available for the Amiga at the end of September, and
thats a fact!
