Sputnick2006 First Review

User Rating: 9 | Re-Volt PC
This is my first review, so i hope it helps someone. If I had to say anything about Re-Volt, its: JUST PLAIN FUN! Just about any person would enjoy playing this game. Me, being very into the sport, (yes, there is a sport where you race these things) I just cant get enough of this game. I bought it from some scholastic book order form, and haven’t regretted getting it to this day. I never thought I would own one of the real RC cars when I was that young. I loved it then as I do now. For more info about that, feel free to send me a message. PROS: well I guess we will start with the pros of the game. Given the time that the game was made, I would have to say that the graphics are truly amazing. The levels are truly engineered perfectly - well, almost perfectly. Anyway, weather your racing through houses in "toys in the Hood" level, or your jumping the pool on "ToyTanic" everything just seems right.
There are also loads of extras and features like a stunt arena, where you push you little RC around looped loops, up half-pipes, or just top speed runs, this feature will keep you entertained with every new car you unlock. And next, there is my favorite feature: Create your own track. It’s a very simple tool you can use to design, customize, and build your own track. There are some setbacks to this though, there aren’t really too many different track pieces you can choose from, and the background of the editor levels isn’t changeable. Along with shooting rockets, electricity, and waterballons at your opponents, there are also some small touches that the creators made for the people who know a little about RC cars. For instance, some cars are gas, and others are electric. Naturally, the gas ones go faster, but the electric ones are still fun to mess around with.

Now The CONS: Well, we have all experienced them; glitches. A gamer’s worst nightmare. Unfortunately for this game, there are quite a few, and they happen often. For instance, sometimes, you get spun around, or take a poorly marked "wrong path" you receive a blinking X on the top of your screen. This doesn’t go away, and when you try to reset, its still stays there. And any laps that you do don’t count. Also, there is no damage, the AI is usually very hard to beat, and there aren’t that many tracks to choose from.

The outcome:
If you’re like me, you don’t read the full review, and just skip to the " sum up " Well, I have sympathy for you, so I will simply sum up what you missed.
This game is very fun, and I think you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I not saying go out and buy a pc game that is very old. Imp simply saying that if you ever come across one in a garage sale, or see it at a friend’s house, PLAY IT! It’s definitely worth it, but really nothing more.
