Re-Volt

Quite nice racing game which aged suprisingly well. It still looks nice, it plays nice and it seems my kids love it as I used to like it. Racing RC cars through supermarket while deploying pools of oil and shooting fireworks is still fun as ever. Somewhere on the interweb floats community patch (if not included in gog copy already) with widescreen support. I still remember cheats - if you want all cars, name your player CARNIVAL, if you want all tracks name player TRACKER. You can use the name, then go back one step and rename for 2nd cheat, then go back one step and use your nick.

I see people talking about the single player game witch is great. but the only thing more fun was the multiplayer. I remember having a blast online with this game. this was an under-rated classic.

The physics are, if not realistic, at least believable, the controls might feel a little bit too sensitive at first but once you get the hang of it the cars actually do what you want them to, the power-ups are standard but very well executed graphically and well balanced. The background music is the good but when on loop annoying late 90s techno that was the standard fare for car games at the time. A special mention should go to the sfx though, as there is some incredible attention to detail going on. The environmental sounds are very good and fit each setting perfectly, and each car has its own realistic motor sound. The "world" is zany but believable. This attention to detail is mirrored in the graphics. They aged very well (most computers nowadays should be able to run this game on max settings, including maximum Antialiasing.) The only thing that betrays the game's age are the relatively low poly counts and the low-res textures, but once you're racing it isn't really noticeable. Each environment is very detailed and often offers (semi-)hidden shortcuts and alternative routes. Single player is fun but slightly frustrating (rubber band AI makes each race tense but means you can fall from 1st to 8th place on the last round a couple of meter from the finish line if you are just a tiny bit unlucky), but multiplayer (used) to be a complete blast So yeah, get it if you enjoy Maria Kart like game and want some alternative to that or Tux Kart Racer.

This is one of the coolest game in my childhood. I used to play this in my cousin's PS and my friend's PC. Spent a lot of time in their home just to play this game. Nice music, nice tracks, nice RC cars, clever AI, also user-created cars/tracks! Glad to see this on GOG :)

I remember playing this as a kid. I used to glue myself for hours to the screen and play. Tons of fun, especially when playing in a group. Can't wait to give it another go. Maybe I'll teach my son to play one day...
