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.
"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
GamingAge: At first glance at the screen shots of Bang Bang Racing my mind wandered to the glory days of old school 2D/3D top down racers like Super Off Road and Ivan “Iron Man” Stewart’s Off Road Racing. So giddy with excitement I downloaded the game and to my wonder and amazement fell deep into the dank spaces of depression, and this was just at the lackluster presentation the intro delivered…if you can call it that. The lifeless title screen moved onto bland menus, throwback sound effects, and forgettable butt rock music. I knew that at this point there was no turning back and I was in for an awfully bumpy ride.
