Speedway saturday night game

The cars themselves are quite acceptable--from a distance. All the right stuff appears to be in all the right places, including roll bars, appropriate decaling which smartly adapts to your current sponsor , a touch of light shading and pseudoreflections, and sporadic bursts of unburned fuel. However, things look a bit different up close.

Here, you'll see that each car seems primitive when compared to those of other games. Critical items, such as headlights, taillights, and exhausts, are merely drawn onto the car body rather than being rendered as isolated 3D elements.

Body panels all but evaporate when viewed from the side, indicating two dimensions rather than three. Mild but noticeable clipping is evident from most perspectives. And overall, the cars look somewhat rough, with sharp, angular edges and corners and coarse details. Worse still, each vehicle tends to warp when the viewing perspective changes. This is most noticeable from the exterior camera in the game's replay suite, where you might see two cars side-by-side but one appears noticeably shorter or substantially more compact than the other.

Inside the cockpit, the game delivers a hardworking, authentically-beaten dashboard, operational gauges, and an active steering wheel--but no driver hands. Moreover, Ratbag has neglected to add a rearview mirror, opting instead for the more cumbersome "look-back" key. Far more realistically, the game once again features flying hunks of mud. As each race progresses, these little dirt blobs inevitably find their way onto your visor and slowly but surely obscure your vision.

But that's what tear-off strips are for. By merely clicking a button, your visor is instantly clean. Remember though, you're limited to just a handful of these strips, so it's best to use them sparingly. Multiplayer racing is only fair. The first mode supports two players on a single computer who share a horizontally-divided screen.

Human participants do not actually race together until the final heat of the day, where they'll soon notice that the skewed perspectives of the single-player game are amplified on the split-screen. What was a minor irritant becomes that much more so when competing head-to-head. Vehicular chaos is not rare in Saturday Night Speedway's upscale Midget world. The big problem is finding other racers.

If you have a home network and an interested party, you're OK. Furthermore, if you use the server browser from within the game--and are lucky enough to find someone else who's raring to play--you're also good to go. Fortunately, Saturday Night Speedway functions pretty well over the Internet, though it does sport some jumpiness that may cause you to incur a few accidental collisions. However, this jumpiness does not make the game unplayable. In summation, the game is disappointing in that it clearly isn't all it could or should be given what has preceded it.

Though gamers new to Ratbag will undoubtedly have a good time exploring Saturday Night Speedway's many intriguing facets and its convincing, high energy dirt track world, veterans of prior Ratbag efforts will quite probably wonder why so little has been done to modernize, repair, and enhance a game model that's now been kicking around for far too many years.
