Drome Racers

"This game is a sleeper hit!"

This game is GOOD!

Its really good, I was skeptic at first but once I saw the images & reviews of this great racer I knew that I had to eventually get it.

That I did at my local Walmart for a bargain price of 25$!

Most GBA games are 40+ dollars (Where I live), not this little gem.

Ok enough about my purchase & onto the review;

This is probably the sleeper hit game for racers on the GBA!

The developers \'\'Mobius\'\' went & created a 3d engine that seems similar to Star Fox\'s Super FX chip. The game actually feels & looks like your playing with a Play station racer! Its unreal & I hope more sequels & some tweaking of the game play will make a return someday!

Story wise;
Its the year 2015 & the only form of entertainment is Racing!
Thats about it for the story brief & to the point.

Game play;
This game reminds me of Mario Kart Advance minus Mario & his popular Mario Brothers supporting cast.

It uses the same weapons & powerups (What racer doesn\'t these days?), You get to unlock 18 locations & more speed racers, The main beef of the game is the Championship mode, once you qualify in the top 3 you earn credits & add power ups to certain parts of your dragster (Speed, Acceleration, Handle, Grip, etc..) this will eventually make your drag car get better during the course of the championship mode.

The game saves often (which is great!), there are more options such as drag racing, Time killer, Multi player (more than 1 cart is needed though).

Another cool thing is trying to beat your best friends time record at certain tracks with a different car (the Ice tracks are challenging!)

This game is just phenomenal!
I also love it when I make wrong turns & in awe when the 3d engine can also go backwards!

Truly amazing!
The replay value is through the roof on this one & it will keep you playing for a long time (unless they make a true sequel!)

Now onto something that seems to bother most people, its also based on the building block company LEGO & its toy racers.

I never knew they made a toy lineup of racers, We all played LEGO as children & this does not bother me (Im 28!) because im not playing any LEGO\'S on my GBA, just a satisfying 3d racer with great replay value & thats all that matters!

This is the sleeper hit racing game for the GBA & I recommend it to anyone thats hungry for a racer!
