A choppy Genesis conversion of the arcade driving sim that critics found underpowered, and an inexpensive cart.
This is the Genesis version of Race Drivin', the sequel to Atari Games' Hard Drivin' arcade game. Polygames developed it and Tengen published it, and it came out only in North America, in November 1993.
Critics were unimpressed. GameFan said the frame rate was too slow to give the arcade game's sense of speed and called the Genesis version an empty shell of it. Game Players said it did not capture the realism and excitement of the arcade game but was still worth a test drive for armchair racers, and Electronic Gaming Monthly called it another so-so entry in the driving scene with very choppy scrolling.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle, so it is cheap to buy. A cardboard-box edition is priced separately from the plastic-case copy. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
