May we burn forever in rock and roll hell if we aren't telling the truth when we say that Rock N' Roll Racing was one of our favorite 16-bit titles of all time. This makes the distribution of these points crucial.

To upgrade from level 3 to 4, it will take 16 experience points and so on. For example, if you want to upgrade your driving from level 2 to level 3, it requires 8 experience points. As you upgrade a specific area, the number of points required to upgrade to the next level increases. You can upgrade driving skills which affects your turning and top speed, the tactical skills which affects how fast your weapon locks onto an opponent, or aggression skills which affects how much damage you do with your weapons. Experience points can be used to upgrade one of three categories of your driver. Not only do you receive cash at the end of the level, you will also receive experience points and chaos points. Cash becomes very important, and you will scream a few obscenities as you race past a cash pick-up without maneuvering into position to get it. The more pick-ups you get, the more cash you receive at the end of the race. Only the top three finishers will walk away with race cash, but even if you don't finish in the top three, you still can win cash with cash pick-ups scattered across the tracks. Deja vu, revisited.Īside from continuing on to the next race, when you win a race you will receive cash to purchase upgrades and new vehicles.

Maybe Shoe is right and I'm just a spoiled, jaded gamer, but I still think this game would be a great Nicol sup element. As I said before, the music and sound effects are nondescript as well. Although the game's graphics ran smoothly with one or two cars in front of you (around 25 30 fps is my guess) there Is some slowdown at times, plus the track design and texture maps aren't that interesting to look at. What's worse, the later tracks have smarter foes and twistier layouts, which only exacerbates the delay problem. The whole control setup threw off my timing. The steering on the cars has a slight (but noticeable) delay, plus the power-ups seem to engage a hair after each button press.

First of all, the control takes a while to get used to. Keep in mind, I'm not saying Red Asphalt is a bad game, but it is spectacularly average. In truth, I've seen this game a million times before and so have you. RA is basically your run-of-the-mill, futuristic, 3-D, shoot-'em-before-they-shoot-you racer. I'll tell you where it all ls.gone!.Thats where. Where's the cool licensed music? Where's the over-the-top-announcer (complete, with an echoing voice). However, this title has lost just about all the spirit and distinction of the SNES game. I remember when Red Asphalt was called Roclo and Roll Racing 2.
