Crazy Cars II

STORY / GAMEPLAY
Ok, this is a racing game with minor action features so, as every one would expect, the story is quite simple. Driving an exotic sports-car, the almighty Ferrari F40, you travel across America to find evidence that will uncover a group of corrupted police officers involved in grand theft auto business! During the race (or should I say "chase") there are many forks to follow, indicating with arrows at the top of the screen which route is quicker for you. Be careful though because any high-speed collision may cause the car to explode! (No worries! You have an infinite supply of F40s!) Actually, your only real problem is to lose valuable time. There are also lots of road blocks to cope with and you must watch for the police cruisers (namely, the "legal" ones) and stay out of their way (every time you hear sirens closing in!).

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The ZX version offers visuals with several details but the main gameplay area is colorless (mainly in black and white) which is something normal for a ZX racing game and the sprites and the backgrounds move quite smooth. There is nothing to say about the sound really, as there are limited sound effects (even on the 128k version!) which is rather strange!
