Demolition Racer: No Exit for Dreamcast Prices

Don your helmet and strap on the shoulder harness--Demolition Racer: No Exit is taking you for a ride, and it's not going to be a smooth one. As a matter of fact, with 16 cars on the track and nobody worried about paint jobs, it's likely to be downright bumpy. Demolition Racer: No Exit will delight gamers who never can keep their car on the road, as it rewards hazardous driving and openly encourages slamming other motorists into walls or--better yet--land mines. The game offers two distinctly different leagues. In the demolition leagues, ranking is determined by the damage points that you inflict on your fellow drivers, multiplied by a value that's assigned to the place in which you finish the race. The No Exit mode puts drivers in an arena, à la gladiator, with the winner being the last moving car. Here, the game really shines, as cars go flying hood-over-heels and perform maneuvers that would make crash-test dummies wince. Demolition Racer: No Exit shows vehicle damage in real time. See your hood crinkle, then pop up and flap like a wounded duck, before it flies over the roof. While the action is fast and furious, however, the graphics don't reflect the abilities of the Dreamcast fully, with vehicles that appear somewhat boxy, and physics that seem unrealistic when compared to other top-notch racing games. In addition, the vehicles are generic, with no brand names. Once you've turned off the predictable hard-rock soundtrack, the sound effects in Demolition Racer: No Exit are excellent, from the screams of tortured metal to the screech of a fender that's kissing a wall. --Benjamin Reese Pros: Real-time damage shown on vehicles Very realistic sound effects Unlockable minigames Cons: Graphics could be better Generic, unlicensed vehicles

The insanity of destruction derby racing hits the Dreamcast like a head-on collision, in DEMOLITION RACER: NO EXIT. If you've got the guts to enter your car in this 12-track racing circuit, be prepared to do more than dent a fender; there will be 16 other drivers on the road who have no problem smashing into your car, if it'll help them win the race. If you really want to watch the damage to your car pile up, enter the Derby Bowl, where the last car still running limps away with the prize. You can even take on a friend in split screen, two-player action.
