"Step away from the bug with your hands up...."
-Visuals 8/10-
Racing on a bug would probably be the last thing that you would expect to see in a grand fashion, but here in BugRiders, you’re doing just that, and with excellent quality. Race stages come up with some pretty impressive visuals, and even the bugs that you select and ride on are done with some professional style design and detail. Bright and flowing colors round out the visual roster, to make BugRiders one of those racing games that you’ll play just to watch if nothing else.
-Audio 6/10-
Ah, the downward spiral starts here. The actual in-game music starts out with a strong overtone, but quickly fades into the background as a constant drone that will make most gamers hit the mute button. While some of the stage music can be pretty catchy, in the end, you’ll find that the music overall just isn’t that good and proves a question of how can you pick music for game in which you race bugs. The sound effects are also not there in the way that you would hope. You have the realistic buzzing sound of wings, but place that against the back-drop of some pretty strange music selections, and you’re left with a headache waiting to happen.
-Control 5/10-
It just keeps getting worse in terms of the control. Racing your bugs along a rail means for some pretty fast and furious turning and maneuvering. However, where the problems come in, start with the actual interface of the PSX controller and trying to use that control to move your bug along the rail. Several times, you may find yourself jamming on the button, only to have the bug turn at the last moment, and completely throw your racing plan out of wack. Definitely not for the younger gamer, ever most seasoned PSX vets will find that the control here is below par, and will turn them away from a game such as this.
-Game Play 6/10-
Based in a world where bugs are your vehicle, you’re pitted on several stages with a bug and rider of your choice. As with most racing games, each has its own set of attributes and skills that either make or break your race progress. While racing though, you’ll find that the actual racing is hampered by the sticky controls, and experimentation is key to finding what bugs work best on what tracks. Overall the game play is summed up with some mixed feelings considering that there isn’t a free-flowing movement, and you’re stuck on a rail that you travel along. Multi-player options are limited here to your standard race against a friend, and even the secrets that are unlocked really don’t do much to keep the replay value very high here. You may find that the game starts out looking great, but after 20 minutes, you’ll find that it isn’t all that much fun when compared to other racing games out on the circuit.
-Overall 6/10-
BugRiders starts out strong in the visual department, but goes downhill with everything, including the game play. With as many racing games that are out there as it stands now, you’ll be left with the need of wanting more and needing more after a couple of hours of playing. Worth a look to just see the visuals, this title couldn’t be recommended as a purchase, and considering what else is out there…what the hell do you need to race on bugs for anyway?
