I picked Streets of Sim City (rip-off of Interstate 76 with 1 /100 the
performance of it) the other day. With a P200mmx (64 meg) Diamond Viper
and a Monster 3d the game runs like a dog! I'm talking about a virtual
slideshow whenever another car comes into the scene. With more than 3 cars
in a race or battle, I'm getting about 2-3 frames per second and that's no
exaggeration! It's supposed to be optimized for 3dfz, Glide and
all....What a joke! Looks like ***too. About the only thing that looks
anything like a 3dfx game are the lousy looking trees (which you can drive
right through!) Nothing in this game like a driving sim at all. Superwide
turns until you press shift key and then you do a 90. Disgraceful.
System requirements are a P-166 and 32 megs ram If anyone tries this on a
P-300, let me know what performance your getting. I can't imagine it
running decently on anything.
The slowest game I have ever played in recent memory! I could get past the
cheesy and washed out graphics if it had "playability" but you'll grind to
an unbelievable slowdown at the first sign of another car. Compared to SOS,
Interstate 76 looks like your getting 100 fps. Back of the box looks great
but nothing like the game.
What a dog....Save your money because I don't think any kind of patch will
ever save his turkey! You should be ashamed of yourself Maxis &
Electronic Arts! Joe B. (remove NOSPAM if replying via E mail))
You're not kidding ....this thing is really really bad.!!!
