Top Gear Overdrive (N64)

 

Description: A racing game developed by Snowblind and published by Kemco.

Newest Review: ... cash and so on. Of course there is a standard race option for multiplayer use, but I thought it was pretty cool of the game ... more

 ... to have this 4-Player championship option. There are 10 cars to earn, including three bonus cars, such a a hotdog on wheels and an N64 logo, and they range from Dodge Viper's to humvees and VW Beetles. As I mentioned, there are only 5 tracks, but also included to add value is mirrored versions of each course, which is pretty cool on the part of the makers, and while it's hardly a comprehensive array of courses or cars, it's certainly enough for casual racing fans like myself. It should also be noted that each course...more

Crowned Review Top Gear Overdrive (N64): Not top, or overly good (1068 words)

Given that Im not much of a fan of the genre, it may surprise some people to find that one of the first games I got for my N64 was this, Top Gear Overdrive, a racing game. My 64 came packaged in a deal with Super Mario 64 and this, so I never really had a say in it, and probably wouldn't even have looked at the game had it not come with the console. The game is an arcade racing game that supports up to 4-Players and even the Expansion pack to enhance the graphics. It was released in 1998 to very little response critically or sales wise, and isn't one of the better known Nintendo 64 games by any stretch of the imagination. The game offers a single ...

The N64 has been starving for a good "real" racer since it's release way back in 96. There were some good cute racers such as Diddy Kong and Mario Kart and then there were some just plain awful racers like Cruis'n USA and F1 Pole Position 64. Finally, that has changed with the release of Snow-blind Studios Top Gear Overdrive. By far the best racer to grace the system, TGO features some of the best graphics, control, game play and all out fun to ever come out of an arcade racer. Being one of the first games to support the RAM Expansion Pack it's pretty much a given you're going to be treated to some knockout graphics if you're lucky ...

Premium Review Top Gear Overdrive (N64): Steer well away! (132 words)

This game is quite awful and needs to be kept clear from. It has tracks which you would expect from this game and the usual cars (nothing special there) yet the inclusion of a turbo boost really does spoil it. In multiplayer mode it alright yet the action is usaully limited to whoever has the fastest car. The graphics look good but play jerkily even with an exspantion pack. The tracks hve long straights which go into really tight turns and you almost certainly crash. It then may have an odd short cut here and there. The game is quite poor and deserves to be kept well away. This game shows u that good graphics don't always mean good gameplay. It does play smoothly but ...
