Since then, as active users of the NES, Sega and other consoles with pixels graduated from school, married, tied the tie and took a mortgage, the demand for those same games with the NES and Sega have increased manifold is formed a layer for which the pixel is a source of nostalgia for the past and happy times. Employees of the video game industry is definitely a trend feel, releasing one a homage to early 90s. It is finally the turn for racing – especially as a conservative genre a long time does not know where to go. Horizon Chase, however, knows – strictly in the opposite direction. The game appeals to the very very basics: racing like the Top Gear with “Shogi” is started up, probably twenty years ago.
You throw on an asphalt road in green (or gray) field – looming the road and 19 of opponents, which we must avoid, outrun and trick. Entourage is impressive: lonely ruler grey asphalt looks exactly the same as in the last century – if not high resolution and decent looking cars, no one would notice the difference. Around natural desert when consoles are not yet able to count more than a dozen pixels, symbolizing the cars.
The races are challenging, but the local physics does not require feats: main problem – turns – solved almost automatic drift. Sometimes, though, you can not calculate, having flown in some cactus – then a long time to recover speed.
As ancestors Horizon Chase, the game is very arcade – speedometer rarely drops below 200, and the first ten pilots controls, apparently, the collective brain of a chimpanzee. To get into the top three, however, more difficult – there opponents go practically without errors, so to win races is possible, though difficult.
First Horizon Chase successfully translates the fun, creating a cool retro imitation. Then it will become clear – it is not imitation, but indeed passed on to the rails of this quarter century game, only in a modern wrapper. And there is no laughing matter: who plays the old, know – now is a specific experience, too have changed the game, their perception. Too has changed everything.
Horizon Chase pretty quickly get tired of one, two, three check, then it will become clear: in General, nothing will change. The same asphalt artery that stretches through monotonous mess. Even though the geography of the extensive movements – this is indicated by the subtitle, the landscape will not change much. But the main thing – does not change the game itself; it is empty and lifeless. For by unbridled retrovirales nothing – and when the veil of nostalgia wears off, there will be only frustration: how is everything?
Between races to do nothing – money here are only a ticket to next levels, and the cars give for success in the cups and bonus tracks. By the way, the car is practically the only (except for graphics) unconditional light spot: on-road romp old “Lamborghini”, “Pontiac” and “Ferrari”. Now where exactly the spirit of the 90s is in the shape of a noble old sports cars.
In addition, Horizon Chase is a great deal of money: about 170 rubles. Domestic purchases there, but the price tag for the remake of the old dust on the shelves? Hmm, strange – besides, any normal person, if you really really can’t resist the feeling of nostalgia, you can always turn to the original type of the same Top Gear and not modern copies.
