Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 2: Namco Vol 1

A pretty obscure little SNES racer from Namco but one that's probably best left forgotten, the UI and menu systems are a bit on the clumsy side and having the music pipe from scene to scene makes the whole thing look amateurish. The gameplay itself just isnt much to write home about either.

There's nothing particularly horrible about what it does, the controls go ok and the general gameplay is basically on the line of acceptable but there's not a lot here to make it stand out.

This is a pretty average mode 7 racer, there's not much else to talk about in terms of gameplay aside from the rubberbanding AI that was kinda standard for the time. I rented it a ton as a kid for some reason probably thanks to the spikey car on the cover.

The composer though was apparently a wizard who could make a SNES sound like a Genesis and make rad tunes out of it and that's worth checking out for sure.
