R.C. Pro-Am II

"Now this is how it should be!!!"

A good game that should be very fun to play provides fun for any age. You control RC cars and you race around a track you collect money and try to avoid water, oil spills, missiles, bombs, rockets, lasers, and other misc. stuff that is aimed at your distruction. The view of the game may be odd at times but you should get the hang of it pretty fast. Your car is fully upgradable from engine to the kinds of guns you have on it. The graphics are very smooth and are real nice considering that they are from the old Nintendo days. The sounds and music are pretty good but you hear them in every racing game you play.

GAMEPLAY **9**

The gameplay is the simplest it can be. The B button is the gas and that’s about all you need to win. The car controls very nice in turns and is quick to respond. No button combos are needed in this game. The game controls very nice and the quick response is really good. The Nintendo controller works great with this game and provides no problems at all. The gameplay is very simple and very easy to do.

SOUND / MUSIC **7**

The usual nothing special to see here. Just like any old racing game you can hear the engine and so on. All of the music on this game is great sounding on the NES. You can hear the car hit the wall or the sound of you spinning out when you hit an oil splotch. It has good sound but nothing that will blow you away. The music in this game is very good sounding and is very detailed. The sound and music in this game is good no great. Its average compared to other racers.

GRAPHICS / LEVEL DESIGN **9**

Good graphics on this game are a star. The game is very detailed in graphics. The course's each have there own jumps, turns, and things to try to make you loose. The courses are very cool looking and each are very special in the way they are set up. The trucks you drive are very detailed and look great. Everybody drives the same kind of truck but you can customize it if you have enough money. The levels are full of stuff such as ramps and things to make you mess up. The levels are very detailed and look real good. The graphics are smooth and sharp and look awesome.

REPLAYABILITY **9**

Did I mention this game is for up to four players? The game has awesome tracks and plenty of things on each track to keep you busy. With the four player action and plenty of tracks to play on it will keep you busy and having fun. You can play by yourself with 3 computer player or you and up to 3 friends as long as you have the adapter for this. The game should last for some time before it gets boring. This game should take a while to get bored of unless your playing it along which takes all the fun out of the game.

CHALLENGE **8**

The game is fairly challenging. With all of the things of the track to mess you up and the computer players are pretty good. They are fast and they never seem to make mistakes unless you force them to by hitting them. The game should keep you busy for some time but I’m not for sure how long.

BUY OR RENT

The game is worth about $10 bucks or possibly a few more. With awesome 4 player action and plenty of tracks and customizing to do you should have some fun. I would suggest this game for multi player fun. Read the review you decide.
