Guided missiles, mines and shields can also be picked up off the track, or you can disable weapons altogether and just race. Weapons aren't so completely over the top, but play on themes like electricity (remember, these cars run on batt'ries) and car-related hazards like oil slicks and water bombs. Especially with all the driving controls on your analog sticks, working the weapons is much easier.
I quickly moved to all-analog control, which I love for racing.

Again, well worth a rental.Įven though RC Revenge Pro supports analog, the default control setup is a combination of stick-and-button. Cars drive through warp-gates and morph into boats UFOs, Dump Trucks and Tanks becomes playable tornadoes, milk puddles and scampering rats block your path and I can't even begin to describe all the funny, weird stuff going on throughout any single level. This is a 'no-rules' game with not much concern for anything but a tight power slide and good choice of weapons, and it also has a sense of humor that makes anything possible.

After opening up a track, Single Race Mode or Time Trial lets you go back and find all the many shortcuts, opening up even more secret options in the game. Championship Mode takes a scheduled course through each of the stages, but features different variations on tracks to avoid boredom. With 6 stages (not including Track Editor) and mirrored, reverse and mirrored-reverse tracks, there's so much driving here it's silly. 2-Player split-screen on any single track is fun, but as in most racers, Championship Mode is where you'll find The Beef. I found the limit on how much track you can lay down irritating and artificial - let me decide if I want to fill up a memory card! - but not so bad that Track Editor Mode isn't a complete blast. If the track editor that comes with this game were the only thing available, RC Revenge Pro would still be worth a rental. RC Revenge Pro is more traditional, but gives away the RC angle by scaling everything up around the cars, making for a 'Honey I Shrunk the Car' type of action. RC de Go, f'rinstance, took the top-down approach and showed almost all the track at once. Recent takes on RC Racing have been quite different. RC Revenge Pro is low on characters, but makes up for it with silly cars, trucks and boats.
Maybe it's got something to do with having wacky characters versus wacky cars. I'm not exactly sure where the Kart Racing genre ends and RC Racing begins. I'll never get tired of J-Pop and 8-bit synth tunes, but hearing real horns and drums is a treat. The music never gets old, mostly because it has a great acoustic quality. The level of activity going on around the tracks is totally cool, and RC Revenge Pro is at least as much fun to watch as to play. Every level is built around a theme that parodies some Hollywood movie, 'I Know What You Drove Last Summer' being one of my favorites. Slowdown is a problem at times and many of the 3D perspectives make navigation confusing at first, but beyond these slight issues is a colorful world with enough eye candy to make Steven Spielberg do a double-take. Now, when I say the graphics are 'great,' that doesn't mean perfect. I'm a broken record if I get started on how much I liked Motor Toon Grand Prix for PlayStation, and RC Revenge Pro has two of the things that MTGP did best: Great graphics and great music. After playing most of the PlayStation 2 racing games, all of which took themselves pretty seriously, RC Revenge Pro is refreshingly bright and silly.
