Redline Racer is what I'd call "factory processed crap"  There is no soul, feeling, atmosphere or what ever you want to call it to this game.  Ok, so it runs at 60fps but that's bout the only thing it's got going for it.  The whole game feels like it just dropped of the production line alone with so many other mediocre games.  You know what I mean don't you?  For example, when you play something by Sega, Capcom and so on.  The game feels like it has a bit of meat on the bones were as Redline Racer feels like the vultures have already scavenged the meat and left you the bone.

Ok, so I'm rattling on now so let me tell you why this game is crap.  First we'll start with the music.  It's just so dull.  What we have here is your typical cheap arsed Industrial electronic crap. Don't get me wrong, I love electronic music but the stuff in Redline Racer can be found in 100's of European made games and it always sounds crap with the exception of the original WipeOut.  Next up are the graphics.  While they are good enough they could be better.  Everything just seems so flat and unimaginative.  The course designs are also quite dull and full of poorly thought out turns.  Most of the time I seem to be crashing due to the bad camera angles. 

So as you can see, Redline Racer is best left well alone.  I have no idea why Imagineer picked up the Japanese rights for this.  Maybe it was because they didn't want to stop their trend of releasing crappy games (^0^)
