    Like a mixture of "Mario Kart" and "Motor Toon GP," RC Revenge Pro's pint-sized racing terrors are armed to the teeth, delivering a totally lighthearted, fun and competitive racing experience.

    Unfortunately, the game design doesn’t quite live up to the game play.

    Despite surprisingly disappointing graphics, RC Revenge Pro takes you back to grade school with more remote-controlled cars than a well-stocked Toys “R” Us.

    It's certainly not the worst kart racer out there. But this isn't supposed to be a kart racer, this is supposed to be an RC racer -- it's there right in the title. And at that, the game fails pretty miserably.

    Other than a few additional cars and tracks, the PS2 update is barely an improvement. In fact, thanks to a plethora of graphical problems, the flaws inherent to the game's overall presentation are much more apparent now.

    All of the vehicles control terribly, the levels are uninspired and the game itself is just a port. Why bother?

    A decent enough karter sadly let down by overly complex track design and occasionally ropey graphics.

    It may have below par physics, but that is what makes it fun for us. The more challenging the better. Just wish the game had faster loads. The V1.2 - 2002 version of this game is a lot faster for the NTSC release. Really happy.

However, I feel they missed out on some creative possibilities, especially in the level editor. For example, I think the level editor should've had a intersection piece, a tornado piece (because having a level full of tornados is what I call fun.) Heck, they could've had a water level editor. But hey, for just having the level editor, I am not going to complain. I think the physics should have been more like Re-volt's handling to make it a little bit more challenging. The A.I was okay, nothing special. The music was fun to listen to. I wouldn't say it's terrible. I also found the levels to be fun. It's slowdown make the game be a little bit boring, but most of the time, you're too busy to notice because of the turns, monsters, and basically because the track is a free-for-all. Oh yeah, the levels I thought were very detailed, and interactive, but it would be cool if some monsters game down and attacked your cars, or arrows were thrown at your cars at the temples, or floating books chased you during the level, you get what I mean. I think RC Revenge Pro is a very fun game for everyone to enjoy, except for the Critic Reviewers, since they don't like it.… Full Review »

    This game is great fun. I feel it excels in so many areas to the point where I would play this over something like Mario Kart. I love theThis game is great fun. I feel it excels in so many areas to the point where I would play this over something like Mario Kart. I love the general feel of the game and how the maps and cars make a solid difference to the experience. Awesome fun back in the day! 8/10… Full Review »
