Reviews for "Xenon Prime Racing"
Xenon Prime...A world where physics don't exist!
I enjoyed this game, but it could use some improvements. #1: The laws of physics are absent. The car doesn't slow down when it hits a wall (could use brakes) and I'm pretty sure hitting a ramp would catapult me into space. #2: Waaaay too fast. Really, it has to be slowed down. Its too dim to see clearly when your speeding down the track at god knows how fast. I think those too improvements, if present in a sequel, would help the game a lot. Thanks for reading!
nice try
First the good things: graphics are amazing, no lag, and gameplay was fun.
Now for critics: i had no sense of speed or scale or where i was going. if you could put a spedometer in if there is a Xenon Prime Racing 2,and a map. The ships didn't seem to do what there power/handling stats said. i was racing as the blue car and on the straight aways the yellow was falling behind and green and red were staying par with me, the only time i gained on them was when i didnt carreen striaght into a wall like them.
For some small things that might add a little to the gameplay, mabye hazards on the roads or a damage meter so you might take care how many times you head straight into a wall. But thats small stuff, it's obvious that this took tremendous effort, if some of these things could be added in Xenon Prime Racing 2 then it would be a hit.
eh.
Should have a mini-map up in the corner so you could know about other racers positions and upcoming turns. Also more vehicles would have been good, along with a brake button. The music was pretty lame too.
All in all an alright game that could be improved.
Good
The game graphics are cool, there is a lot of room for improvement here, but hey, it's a 3D flash game, so I guess is more than complicated here, but there is no excuse not to put a progress bar of the map, or a map, a speedometer... a more interesting HUD overall.
The sound effects are nearly non-existant, no engine suond, no buttons sound, no narrator, there is also a lot of improvement room here.
The music fits more in a "Driving Miss Dasy" kinda racing game, it should be more oriented towards a futuristic sci-fi tecnological hovering hi-tech cars racing game like this one :P
The gameplay is very nice for this kind of game, I have played other racing games and this one is very good in that aspect. Comparing it to F-Zero or Wipeout is natural due to its theme, design, etc, so your game will always be "not as good as f-zero", kinda difficult to be objective here for most people. But objectively, the AI is not that good, this alowed you to pick the hiPower/lowHandling car and just go forward being a little careful not hitting the walls and win easily.
Street Fighter 3 New generation comes to mind, like Capcom always did, the next, and the next afert that one will be huge improvements.
Looking forward to to xpr2 (and 3) I expect to see boosters, kickass music, more sounds (!), more cars, characters, and maybe some story :)
