This game is fun in a lot of ways, but it also has huge drawbacks that hold it back. I'm a huge fan of Horizon Chase Turbo (though I never played the original 90s console racers where this style originated), and I play arcade racers a lot—but this one feels different from all of them. The visuals and music are the best parts here. The soundtrack is great, and the graphics capture the feel of a true old-school console game. The gameplay, though... feels like everything depends on luck. If you hit an obstacle or get wrecked by a police car (which sometimes you can't do anything about), you can't recover your track position, period. The whole time, you aren't really racing, overtaking, or steering; you are just avoiding hazards. Then again, if you do get past everyone, no one will be able to overtake you back, even in your most basic car. That is, unless your luck runs out again. Thumbs up, but mostly for the music. It has one of the best synthwave track sets out there.

Chic, old-school racing like on the Sega Mega Drive. Great soundtrack, pixelated graphics and atmosphere. It's worth working hard to get to the end, and with the most recent opponent, you need to develop a good strategy. To relax after a hard day, recommend it.

70% chance you'll enjoy this; full price is fine at £8.99 but if you want it on sale, around £6.30 feels a good max for it (or whatever your currency equivalent is) Pros: + Solid gameplay with vehicle upgrades and a few vehicles to purchase + Plenty of races to compete in across career with side missions, time attack and a track editor + Good 80s vibe looking visuals in line with something like the old Outrun game or Slipstream, character portraits that "take inspiration" from the looks of 80s movie actors Cons: - Final race is a pain and requires you to be unnecessarily aggressive in blocking the opponent to have a chance at winning - Later races in career and time attack can become a bit long to complete - Side missions appear to be a one and done, so if your going after the achievements and fail a side mission but complete the race, you will need to start a new profile and wait for that mission to trigger just to try again

Lamborghini American Challenge: Neon Edition Seriously, people keep bringing up comparisons to Outrun and every other game under the sun save for the actual inspiration for this game, the racing fees, car damage and upgrades, the neutral cars on the road and the police system, even the map and its stars representing the races is a throwback to the SNES game, all it lacks is the betting system before the races. If you played or saw that game everything here is familiar, with "updated" but still retro graphical style. ----------------------------------------- That said, while it looks cool, gameplay quickly becomes frustrating thanks to the AI doing everything in its power to get in your way to make you crash or get delayed, sometimes turning a couple minutes race into an ordeal of restarts until things go your way or you forfeit and lose the entry fee. I'll leave this as a positive, but it's more of a neutral TBH.

A great homage to 16-bit era racing games, I recommend it even at full price.
