Shitastic Games #25: Anime Edition-Speed Racer
1Forgive me Tatsunoko, but this is what Accolade did to your masterpiece...
The most iconic figure in sports anime stars in his own video game...which somewhat lacks the spirit of the anime itself. You play as the titular teen racer himself and his car, the Mach 5 as you race through various races and go on mysterious adventures. It's hard to say if its truly shitastic or not to be perfectly honest, so I'm gonna leave this up to the public, but I do have some pros and cons to it.
Pros:
Theme song is included
Music is catchy
the original flavor of the series are sprinkled
Cons:
Racing controls are sloppy if not terrible
AI is on a state of douchebaggery
Speed's controls are flimsy if not staggered
It might be a so-so title really, but it's shitastic in its own right and yet it's the otaku in me that's stopping me from dropping the Bird Missile on this game.
