Bang Bang Racing is a new fast-paced, top-down racing game from developers Digital Reality, creators of diesel-punk shooter Sine Mora. The game is a very simplistic racing game but at the same time can quickly become a highly addictive one. It can be played by almost anyone with only a few controls to learn before you can get into the racing and very quickly look like a pro.
"Digital Reality, the fine folks behind the wonderfully satisfying shoot 'em up Sine Mora, has graced us with their take on the top-down arcade racer...with style. Recently ported over from the mobile platform (it was originally released on Android-based devices in 2011), Bang Bang Racing has been thrust back onto the console. Taking more than a few cues from a few golden gaming classics, does Bang Bang Racing have what it takes?" (darkzero)
"Finally my first video review that I appear in! Does Bang Bang Racing set the roads ablaze or does it just shoot blanks?" - FirstDropShow.com
For people of a certain age Bang Bang Racing will bring back vivid memories of some brilliant top down arcade racers. Whether it’s speeding around the breakfast table in Micro Machines on the Mega Drive or tearing round the track as a cow on wheels in Super Skidmarks on the Commodore Amiga there has, and probably always will be, a place for a well crafted top down racer. Compared to its previously mentioned (much) older peers Bang Bang Racing rarely gets out of first gear.
... but I felt the weight of the cars was too heavy and it was all a bit too slow.
Instead of a fun fast arcade-game, it was just too sluggish.
I really love the top-down racing genre, but sadly this didn't convince me to buy it.
