Jeff Gordon XS Racing By: ASC Games Rewiewed by: Jhornet/Cheeba_puff - (Jonathan Dellert) Game Size: I don't know, but it sucks so much it can't be TOO large. Password Save Released: 1999 Works with all Game Boys ***************************************************************************** Opening Snide Remarks: Normally I don't like Game Boy racing games, and this is no letdown. Why is it a big, steamin' load o' poo? You'll find out. Read on... ***************************************************************************** Gameplay: This game could've been so much more, rather than a thirty-dollar advertisement for Pepsico. Basically, you go track to track racing four other cars (five later on in the game). After seven tracks, you start over on the first track again. There is absolutely NO storyline. This game is just a pile of Teletubby poop. However, the box sure is purty... Liked: Huh? What? Did you miss something? IT'S TELETUBBY POOP, FERCHRISTSSAKES!!! Hated: See "liked". ***************************************************************************** Graphics: Well, there's good, bad, and ok. Here's a prime example of ok. The backgrounds are colorful and nice. The cars, however, are another story. They are first in a line of things that are pooie about this game. For example, you're an approximate three feet from another car, and it looks as if you're thirty feet away. Almost everything else is average. Liked: The backgrounds. Hated: Everything, but nothing. Odd... ***************************************************************************** Sound: Sound effects, for the most part, suck. You can barely tell things are what they're supposed to sound like. The Music is pretty good, kind of snappy in some of theselections. Liked: The Music Hated: The Sound FX ***************************************************************************** Control: The Menus are easy to navigate, and, when you select a feature, it snaps right to it. However, when racing, your car handles about like a dead cow until you hit 100 miles per hour, and then it handles like a catatonic llama. Think "F-1 Race." Liked: The Menus Hated: Everything but the bloody menus. ***************************************************************************** Improve: Nothing, leave it as it is, but in a volcano, or an acid pit or something... RIYL: Expensive coasters, LAME racing games. ***************************************************************************** Final Comments: This game is useless, lest you collect memerobillia concerning Pepsi or Fritos. In the name of all that is good, you'll avoid it. If you want a racing game, get V-Rally 99. ***************************************************************************** Score Gameplay: Graphics: * Sound/Music: ** Control/Design: * Personal opinion: Final Score: 16% ***************************************************************************** Currently known codes: None, thank God.
