Lamborghini: American Challenge

The Good
"Live life in the fast lane", that was the games slogan and that is exactly what it delivered. I loved racing down those windy roads, slipping between slow moving traffic. The damage system was great, i simply loved smashing into other cars and watching them suffer as I sailed past. Sandwiching cars was extremely cool. The smashing is one feature most modern racing games miss out on. The police were great fun to bash around.
The betting, whilst being a minor feature, was cool and added to the game. The various rivals were full of character and sometimes genuinely hard to beat. Because it is packed full of tracks, doesn't mean that the tracks are poor, some of them were nice and easy and made for an enjoyable drive whilst others you struggled on, just making it round the corners on the thin path in the dark.
There was a superb mix of tracks. It helped of course that the game featured my favourite car, the Lamborghini, so was a pleasure to play.

The Bad
The only thing i didn't really like was the end-of-division race. You were set on a road against millions of lorries which got in your way and you used none of the racing skill you possesed to complete the boss race. It was like a whole new set of skills had to be learnt

The Bottom Line
An excellent racing game set among traffic. Smash your way through opponents and police to earn money you won betting to upgrade your car to face increasingly tougher opponents and tracks
