Slicks 'n' Slide

The Good
One word - groovy. This game is totally cool, and I still think that 7 years on.

Slicks ‘n’ Slides offers a variety of vehicles you can race from motorbikes to tanks, and flying saucers to cars. There are heaps of them, and they are all lots of fun. You zoom around the track, of course you can configure how many laps you want to do, whether you want a one-off race and specify the track, or go through all the tracks in a championship fashion.

The tracks are all very cool, some with jumps, puddles, sand and oil spills etc. There are over 20 tracks for you to have a hoon on. You can leave behind little skid marks if you want that option! It’s just so cute and there are so many options.

The multiplayer part of this game is what made it for me. Sure enough I played it a billion times on my own, but to have up to four people all crammed on one keyboard battling it out was just a riot! I was on the keys by the Q key, one cousin down by the <> keys and another on the number pad. Man, the dirty tricks we would play to win.

The Bad
The computer players were excellent, and my cousins always beat me. I can't really find fault with such a cool game. If there are any problems with it.. the amount of coolness it has surpasses and erases them from my memory.

The Bottom Line
When looking at small cute racing games, you can't get past Slicks. Excellent against the computer, and even better against friends and family.
