Motorhead (PS)

Motorhead (PS) ... the PlayStation needs: another futuristic racing game! Mercifully, Fox Interactive's Motorhead forgoes the over-the-top weaponry and race-or-your-planet-and-everybody-on-it-is-gonna-die-for-some-inexplicable-reason storyline usually found in games of this type in favor of straight-ahead driving action. Hop in one of ten sleek racers and test your skills on eight hazard-filled courses, which snake through urban, desert, and seaside terrain. Play modes include the obligatory time attack, single race, league, and head-to-head competition found in any respectable racer. Motorhead's most unique option is the ability to choose between 30 or 60 frames per second. Choosing 60fps gives the game a clean, smooth look on par with any contemporary PlayStation racer; however, the trade-off is you're restricted to a paltry three-car field. Choosing 30fps noticeably diminishes Motorhead's graphical punch but allows up to seven cars to compete at a given time.
