Checkered Flag Atari Jaguar Gameplay (Atari Corp) First Impression
Heres the first of a few Atari Jaguar videos ive decided to upload. Checkered Flag was Ataris answer to Virtua Racer for the megadrive/32x.
Whereas the game looks very similar in style to virtua racer, the graphics are a lot smoother. Unfortunately the frame rate in the game is so fast its near impossible to judge corners. Now i must admit, im not one for brakes, and usually take on racing games at full speed, but this was just too much. Looking back at the video it doesnt seem too bad, but its a lot harder to play.
After some time i did get the hang of the controls, and stopped driving like the wind, but the game just didnt offer enough to keep me entertained.
If the game frame rate was slower, it would be a really good game, but unfortunately its not beating the likes of virtua racing. If your a true racing fan then youl probably be happy to own this game, its definately the best the jag has to offer.
