Reviews for Motor Massacre (#3290)

Review by YOR on 13 Jun 2013 (Rating: 2)

The cassette inlay makes this look like a demolition derby and its loading screen makes it look like a driving shooter but it is none of these and instead it's a boring driving game combined with a running shooter type game with nonexistant gameplay. Very misleading which leaves not very amused.

1989 Gremlin Graphics Software (UK)
by Andrew Postlewhite and Robert Moneagle

At first this game didn't look all that bad, despite being too simplistic. And because I have had practice with games like this in the past, such as 'Give My Regards to Broad Street' or 'View to a Kill' which were a lot harder to control than this, I wasn't too disappointed.
Well, at least until I lost a life in the game and had to reload a whole section. Multiloading levels was one of the most annoying things in the Spectrum. Thankfully not all games shared multiloading or else the Spectrum wouldn't have reach a fraction of the cult status it has today.
Anyway, like I said at the beginning this game is too simple. Not to mention the gameplay or the way it looks. The Atari version was a lot smoother and playable and the graphics looked a lot better.
If this game hadn't multiloading I would have rated it with a 2,5, because it has I rate it with a 2. And I fell I'm being generous.
