Classic Sport Driving Review (sonictimm)
Very simple arcade racing game, but very challenging! If you're not into racers it's probably not for you, but if you are...
I thought I would play this game for an hour and then move on, but one thing kept me around: the ghost system.
When you are racing, the ghost of another player is shown in front of you. If you pass them, it changes and shows a different player's ghost data-- someone juuuuust ahead of you. If you fall back too far, it changes and shows a slower player who is now juuust ahead of you. Trying to pass the ghost is one of the most addicting mechanics in any racing game.
Once you complete a course, you can also see your own ghost. But the ghost visual is so simple it doesn't look crowded or cluttered with 2, you simply see their position and a trail where they drove. Also helps you strategize because you can see how they went around turns.
So yes it's a very simple game, but if you have any competitive streak, you've got a good reason to do just a liiiitle better on this course!
After finishing campaign I keep coming back for the weekly challenges. Pop in, see how I stacked up last week, run a few races, then go about my week. Pop in again next week.
Very fun, and there's no grinding / leveling up required. It's pure skill!
