You remember the ace RC Pro Am games for the NES? You do... Well imagine
RC Pro Am with better graphics with famous rock music hits like Born to
be Wild in the background. Now add some cool vehicles equipped with lasers,
missiles, bombs and nitros that´s racing on a deserted desert planet
fro life and death and you´ve got Rock 'n Roll Racing in a nutshell!
The game is viewed just like it´s precursor, ie. from a "vertical overhead
view". You start out as a talented driver with some cash in you pocket. The
first thing to do is to buy yourself a propper car and some equipment for
it. After every race you get money depending on the place you finished and
also for the money packs that you can pick
up
on the course. For the money you can buy new accessories for
your car like better engine, armour and more weapons etc. Later you can also
buy a new car and can then access weapons like missiles, homing bombs, better
mines and nitros (turbo). When you finish a race you also get racepoints
depending on the place you came and if you have collected enough racepoints
at the end of the season you can then fly away to a new planet to challenge
the racers there but if don´t have enough racepoints you´ll just
have to start the season all over again! The courses ranges from industrial
wastelands, deserts and Alien inspired landscapes to the slippery iceworld
and last the hot Lavaland Inferno. The long way to the rock hard Inferno
is long tough and filled with glorious rock music and stunning action but
once you have completed the game you won´t try complete it more than
a few times. To save the day interplay has added a 2 player option were you
can race around with your friends and blast them over and over again (and
that can´t be bad!). In other words RnRR is a great game, even if it
could have a little bit better lastability. - Mattias Liedholm
