    While the races are thrilling, the lack of any features found in other racers, such as sliding or braking, prevents you from building skills to master the game. Most times, it feels like you win on sheer luck. Coupled with the fact that the tracks all feel relatively the same, the experience gets stale fairly quickly.

    Rolling onto the scene and feeling like the marriage of Super Monkey Ball, a futuristic racer, and an exercise in calculated risks andRolling onto the scene and feeling like the marriage of Super Monkey Ball, a futuristic racer, and an exercise in calculated risks and insanity, Super Impossible Road certainly makes an impression on Switch. In principle the goal is simple, regardless of the specific event type: get to the goal at the end of the track as quickly as possible. Whether that’s by trying your best to stay on the often-windy track, taking your chances jumping off the side and trying to land on a lower section of track, or some combination of all the above, you can bet none of the options will necessarily be easy. One of the best ways to at least try to give yourself all the help you can is to tune your craft with equipment that best suits your style, usually with a focus on your grip of the track or your ability to control yourself in the air. Whether you try to find a balance and stick with it or even move between a few configurations to best suit the given event and track layout is up to you. Make no mistake, the game earns its name in spades, and racing against others tends to lead to a lot of risk-taking and paying the price, but if you enjoy gritting your teeth and working to “git gud” there’s nothing quite like this on the system.

As someone who's played the original Impossible Road, I loved it a lot. So when I saw this coming out on the Nintendo Switch, I immediately pre-ordered it. When I finally played it, I was stunned. The visuals looked AMAZING. It has a futuristic feel to it, a far-cry from the minimalistic aesthetic of the original. The environments looked fantastic, especially for a Switch game. Hell, even for a game in general. The gameplay is great too. It retains the gameplay of the original, but adds in a new mechanic called boosting. Every time you pass a gate, you gain boost, and you can use it to speed ahead. You can also jump off of the track and land on another part of it within 5 seconds to rack up more points quickly. And did I mention the extra games modes like racing? Because these races are no joke. They are fast-paced and addicting to play, and you can even play online! Don't forget that you have an entire campaign of levels to play through, giving you some replayability to try and get 3 stars in each level.
    The endless modes are pretty great too. You have Time Gate, where you try to get as much points as you can in a race against the clock while going through Time Gates to extend your time, and you have Survival, where it's your standard Impossible Road affair. These modes make the game endlessly replayable.
    The soundtrack is a banger to listen to, with futuristic intense EDM-style music that really fits in with the games futuristic space setting.
    Bottom line: Super Impossible Road rules, and I can't recommend it enough. For $20, the content it offers proves that it's worth every penny.    … Full Review »
