Micropose's TRACK ATTACK

Anyone heard about a new racing game by Microprose? (Track Attack) I just saw a few screenshots...its looks a lot like screamer and other arcade racing games of that type. I didnt even see advertising for it in the microprose's pages... The first time I heard about it was when I placed my order for Gp2 at Chip'n'bits...there was something called Track Attack , i thought it was a set of track for gp2 that was coming out (it was stamped as Pre-order like gp2) Anyway, if you want to see a few screenshots go to: [link lost in import] and check under GD review... see ya

It might look nice but Track Attack plays like an absolute pile of shit. It's been several years since I played a game that was just so bad to control - it's next to impossible to just slightly correct your line - the thing just veers around as if defying the laws of physics. Add to that a pretty sluggish frame rate in VGA on a P90 and you have a pretty poor game. The menus look nice though... -- Ian Rae, DSP Firmware Engineer, | Tel No: +44 1793 565159 Motorola GPD, 16 Euro Way, | E-mail: Blagrove, Swindon, England, SN5 8YQ.| It's a lovely day for a Guinness!

It sounds like Virtual Karts. VK had the bug where the cart would constantly pull severly to he left, regardless of whether you were using the keyboard or a joystick. I lost some respect for Microprose when they relased Virtual Karts. If what you say about Track Attack is true, then I want to publicly say that I will NEVER buy anything from Microprose again (except for GP2). They're starting to look like one of those companies that knowingly sell either buggy products or just plain ***products and see how many suckers they can get to buy them.

It got a terrible review in the July issue of PC-Power (26%) and if the demo is anything to go by even that's generous.. Jan.
