Review: Music Racer (PlayStation 4)

Music Racer is a musical arcade game, where you get to race at full speed while dodging obstacles to the rhythm of the music.

Pros:

  • Cool neon graphics.
  • 480.5Mb download size.
  • Platinum trophy.
  • Runner style gameplay.
  • Basic car/wheel color customization.
  • Photo mode.
  • Camera options-Shake, Blur effect, and distance slider.
  • Four difficulties- Standard/Zen/Cinematic and hard.
  • 23 music tracks.
  • Over 20 cars/bikes/sleighs to buy.
  • 14 tracks.
  • Coins-collect on the track to buy levels and tracks.
  • Two control styles-Simple and advanced.
  • Game-you drive between the tracks and collect coins whilst avoiding obstacles.

Cons:

  • No real tutorial.
  • Feels a bit aimless as the lure of unlocking tracks and cars is not that appealing.
  • Music is not for everyone.
  • No leaderboard support.
  • It takes ages to build up cash.
  • No real punishment for hitting obstacles.
  • Cars are just cosmetic.
  • It can be hard to see the track.
  • Cannot import or play your own music.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
