Well? What Is It?
Released in 1996, Dare Devil Derby 3D attempted to mimic Micro Machines or RC Pro AM. Developed by Supersonic and published by Mindscape, this game excels in some areas but falls flat in others. As the game opens, it doesn't waste any time getting started. There is no cheesy FMV to create a plot, which is not needed in a racing game. It simply places you in the title screen with several different play options.
The Many Faces of The Dare Devil
One of the strengths of this game is it's many race types. Playing solo, you are offered a grand prix, a world series, championship races, knockout, one on one, and speed trial. Now add to this the seven multiplayer modes and you will see that variety is not an aspect that is lacking in this game.
These Tracks Hit a Few Good Beats
Another one of the good aspects is the amount of tracks included in the game. There are ten ''themes''(ex. Wild West, North Pole) with two or three tracks each. Every track is completely different from the others which opens up opportunities for completely ingenious ideas. One level has you using a ski lift to get to the top of the mountain while anothers shoots you across the track from the cannon on a pirate ship. On the downside, some of the tracks are completely bland. From a square path around a volcano to an oval loop around a pool of water, some tracks show that creative thought was not used to the full extent and they are devoid of any real thought.
Let's Race!
Pick any race style and track and you will find yourself racing up to seven rivals, be it computer or human. When playing alone, you can select two camera angles. One stays in a set position and follows you around the track a la RC Pro AM, while the other is a chase view that tags along in back of the car. Pick either one, it doesn't matter; neither give you enough view of the surroundings to accurately prepare you for upcoming turns.
Visually Appealing?
The graphics are interesting at best. From the characters with three frames of animation to the cars with no texture, it is obvious that this game is not pushing the gray box's limits. A positive side to the simple graphics is that they reinforce the cartoony feel of the game.
Gather 'Round Children
Seeing as how the game is targeted towards children, something must be said regarding the difficulty. I found it challenging myself and decided that Supersonic made the game a little too hard for it's target audience. Kids will most likely give up in frustration after only a few races.
Micro Machines + Cartoon - Some Fun = Dare Devil Derby
Dare Devil Derby #D attempts to be the next Micro Machines but the product has too many flaws to overtake the franchise. Rent it if you are interested but pick up Micro Machines V3 instead if you are looking for a small-car racing fix.
