I'm a racing game fan but no game has taken me so many hours than Screamer 2. You could spend (and I did spend) hours and hours trying to get that turn done better, replayability is excellent even if there are very few tracks compared to modern games. I remember driving those rear-wheels powered cars was a *real* and *fun* challenge. Good to see it on GOG, added it to my collection. I'm curious to see the stability of this version, I remember the genuine one wasn't excellent, used to somewhat crash too often.
Some racing games try and be realistic, this one is just fun. Difficulty is IMHO just fit, I'd swear the "IA" adapts to your skills by slowing down if you're way behind and speeding up if you're ahead of them. Anyway, trying to let them crash and watch yourself driving a completely crushed car, with burning engine, smoke and broken windows, is just fun. Graphics are quite good, it's my favorite racing game by now.
For some reason, I really enjoyed playing this, even in solo mode. The solo game is well crafted, nice tutorials, clever enough bots, skill settings that make sense, and the levels are beautifull. It might like the humour of a duke nukem or the "too much exagerated" almost cartoonish aspects of a Quake 3 arena, but still the atmosphere is great. A must have.
Sure, Duke is a lot of fun, very deep levels, hours and hours of fun, humour, it's one FPS not to miss. But technically, I'm surprised it's not packaged with eduke32 which works like a charm. Wonder if choosing "classic DOS duke" or "eduke32" could be an option?
