- Powerboat USA -
|
|
Powerboating is a sport,
like many other, which is often associated with the United States. Like
the title suggests it's all about powerboating which involves really big
boats with huge engines racing around the water. The race itself is completely
modelled in 3D but with the technology of the time don't expect it to be
very pretty or smooth.
The racing is the main part of the game but you aren't going anywhere without
a boat so the first thing you is select one, it's a shame you don't actually
buy it and upgrade it as you win. There are plenty of other things for you
to do before a race though such as a flythrough of the course you selected
to get a feel for it. You can also change things on your boat like the prop
and shaft or talk to the other drivers to get some info on the course and
how different boats react. There are several courses to choose from most
of which are in sunny Miami but there are also two located in San Francisco
and in Mississippi but the good thing is that you can set your own course
on existing courses. It's a rather simple course editor but it's better
than nothing I guess.
The fact that you simply select a boat is rather dissapointing as most people
will just get the fastest most powerfull one, the Don Johnson special, and
race with that. There are quite some options before and during a race to
keep you occupied apart from the race itself obviously. The graphics are
a bit shoddy though and there's little to no sound effects and music. Well
I'm not really into powerboating and as a game this doesn't have really
much to offer for anyone other than fans of the sport because there's simply
very few of them around.
Overal rating: 5/10

Powerboat USA was released for several different systems here are some notes:
| Amiga |
Released
in 1990. |

Released
in 1990.
Since the C64 is really bad with vector graphics this version has
sprite based graphics instead which isn't a bad thing. |
