There’s a couple of other game modes to play, which add a little more variety over the standard tournaments. It’s a shame that the overall driving feels great, as focusing on this alone could’ve led to better gameplay. Braking is implemented nicely as well like more realistic racing games, you can’t hold down the accelerator if you want to make it round some of the tighter corners. Each car can build up a good amount of speed on straights, and the game does a good job of making you feel fast when you accelerate down a longer section of any track. Although handling is a bit too tight to be realistic, it’s not particularly noticeable (we’re not talking Mario Kart turning here).

The game’s actual driving controls are pretty good throughout. With no incentive to destroy other racers, players are better off just avoiding other cars, making the key point of the gameplay futile.Īlthough the game tries to add entertaining collisions to traditional racing gameplay, there’s no point in taking racers out Even when you pull off an excellent takedown by spinning someone out without taking damage, you aren’t given any reward. Most of the time, trying to take down competitors will cause you both to crash by the time you respawn on the track, multiple cars will have passed you by. However, there’s very little point in trying to get rid of a foe’s health. Each participant has a health bar over their car, and collisions with the course or other racers reduce this health. However, what seems like an interesting gameplay concept is utilised poorly. Developers Lion Castle Entertainment has tried to bring the destruction of arcade racers to the F1-style genre, with each race in the game featuring dozens of explosions. The aim for Speed 3‘s gameplay is clear from the start you can even see it on the cover.

It’s just a sequence of races, with no reward for winning, that personally failed to hold my attention after reaching the Pro level. It’s not really fair to even call this a “story” mode.

The game doesn’t have some sort of celebratory cutscene or animation for you instead, you simply exit to the main menu, where you can try the next tier. Even winning isn’t particularly exciting. While there are four levels of tournaments to choose from, each is almost identical to the lastīetween races, there’s no content to enjoy: the game gives you a look at the leaderboard, with your name amongst those of the generic racers you’re up against.
