Motorhead

Gremlin begeeft zich op glad ijs door deze game in dezelfde periode te releasen als GT, maar ik denk toch dat ze goed gokken. Motorhead is gewoon een uitstekend racespel, en zal zich gemakkelijk stande weten te houden tussen het gros van de hedendaagse racegames.

As such anyone who compares Motorhead to either G.T or F1 is completely missing the point - it's aimed at those who like a pick up and play racer, rather than become immersed in the technicalities of ride height, downforce levels etc. This game could have been a classic if they had spent more time on the computer car A.I and added a few more tracks. Features like a rear view mirror, longer races and a link-up mode may also have helped the overall lifespan considerably. If the coders set out to update Ridge Racer or Wipeout, then they have succeeded admirably; however I think that they possibly should have tried to emulate the additional features that were present in Rage Racer.

While Motorhead is far from being the most lackluster PlayStation racer, it lacks the showroom shine of true Ferraris like Namco's Rage Racer or Sony's Gran Turismo. Only the most ardent racing fans need apply.
