Streak Hoverboard Racing

I found Streak to be a very nice racing game to be sure. It is different in the fact that you have a hover type board that can cruise around almost anywhere...nice concept. The game did strongly remind me of Jet Moto though, but I don't necessarily consider that to be a bad thing. If you like racing games and are looking for a racing title a bit out of the ordinary, then I can highly recommend Streak. It has a good selection of outrageous tracks, strong graphics and stimulating sounds. The only downside is that the screen is rather "busy" in the two-player mode...eh, such little problems I can live with!

Streak is an overall thrill of a game, with the one exception of the lack of lighting. The game provides an excellent storyline that progressively unfolds as you course your way through the game finally finding out why Streaking is an invaluable resource to the future. 3D environments , multiple tricks, and excellent character control finish the game off, providing a very replayable and thrilling game for Playstation owners. Single and 2-player modes of competition, as well as link capabilities, further the playing ability of this game.

I enjoyed Streak for a few hours but the more I played, the more it started to wear off of me. It never turned into a bad game or anything like that but I just did not get that feeling that I had to finish just one more race. I think the graphics are outstanding and the little things really make me see the effort that was put into the game. Aside from that, you will feel like you are playing Jet Moto all over again.

Streak was an average game overall, with the nice theme downgraded by the graphics and not so great gameplay. Had the graphics been knocked up a notch, the game probably would have been a lot more fun to play, but unfortunately, they were not very good and the game suffered. Overall, the game has a good idea with average everything else, so if you have the money and think its a cool idea, grab it and you might not be disappointed too much.

Streak also suffers from many of the same shortcomings that plagued the Jet Moto series; questionable physics, stiff animation, low polygon counts, and ridiculously difficult tracks all mar the fun. While Jet Moto's dizzying originality made it easy to overlook such problems the first time around, Streak is surprisingly rough around the edges for a third-generation racing game.

Helaas slaat Streak de plank volledig mis. Ten eerste is de snelheid van het spel en de floatboarden in het bijzonder veel te laag. Ten tweede is de besturing het best vergelijkbaar met een reumatische oude opa. Op de derde plaats komen de houterige en te donkere graphics en op gedeelde vierde plaats de achterlijke characters; de verschrikkelijke soundtrack en het totale gebrek aan goodies en power-ups.
