Tekken 2 Demo Reviewįinally something non car related, the fighting game sequel by Namco. If you leave the game alone it’ll show a short rolling demo similar to how Destruction Derby 2’s did but I imagine it’d interest people more being based on something licensed. Other than that its a pretty decent demo, I do have to wonder if the full game did well considering its name highly implies its the first F1 based game ever. I actually did quite alright though there was one thing that bothered me greatly, at one point it starts telling you that you are low on fuel and since the game doesn’t tell you and I’m not a Formula 1 watcher I had no idea what to do about it. However it was a playable demo letting you play through a full track of the game.Ĭontrols were surprisingly easy to guess though it’d have been nice to get shown them. Honestly by this point in reviewing and the 4th car related game published by Psygnosis (developed by Bizarre Creations) this disc was seeming disappointing. This one doesn’t interest me at all, in fact it probably could have been part of another game. And people say companies shovel out games these days. Interestingly its also made by Reflections, the people that made Destruction Derby 2. The advert after that was even more so especially nowadays, one of the features being 1,000,000 polygons per 6km2 per level. This rolling demo was all sorts of awkward, for some reason it thought watching a monster truck drive over and crush a row of cars for a bit was enough to get peoples interest, with some of the voice lines being spoken twice in a row. It does have a rolling demo if you leave it alone. The only reason Iwouldn’t have bought the full game is because of how bad I am at it but I’d still recommend it. Still a pretty nice demo though, I imagine the full game would have button config. Its quite easy to press square while pressing down X but not O. If there was one thing that bothered me about the controls was that circle was used to fire weapons and square was used to discard them. I probably would need to learn how the airbrakes worked to get good at it. On expert however I did terrible, running out of time just before the finish line of the first lap. I did alright on novice, had a bad habit of crashing in the dark tunnel section every time though. Thankfully it also shows the controls before throwing you into the race.Ĭontrols definitely felt responsive but it was obviously not an easy game, one of the gimmicks of the game is similar to stuff like F-Zero you go pretty fast with the top speed getting higher as the difficulty does. While the type of race couldn’t be changed and options were also unselectable there were 4 possible vehicles (ranging fom beginner to expert in handling difficulty) to race around the track (which itself could be played in novice or expert). The racer thats actually developed (and not just published) by Psygnosis Wipeout 2097 actually had a playable demo. That really wouldn’t have made me confident in buying it. I admit it does look quite cool but considering how both show the followed plaer doing terribly and neither of them finish the race (first one gets totalled, 2nd one just cuts off suddenly). This one in particular, for the driving game by Reflections, had the player watch a race replay following what I assume is an ai racer in a white car (they did kind bad at points) with different camera angles. The Demos/Videos Destruction Derby 2 ‘Rolling’ Demoįor those that don’t know a rolling demo is one that plays itself. Also the visuals weren’t that good either in all honesty. Something that bothered me was th game would force you into random demo’s if you waited on the select screen too long. Note I didn’t have the original box and the disc itself fails to tell you which ones are rolling demos or playable til you select them. The “Autumn/Christmas Releases” disc is a small compilation disc for PS1 containing a few demos for games scheduled for Autumn/Christmas 1996.
