12/11/2023 0 Comments Rad movie intro![]() ![]() If you enjoy mindlessly racing and drifting from one location to another with a few different available goals depending on which mode you choose, Night Driver is an alright racer, if a bit boring and uninspired. Oh, and there is a classic racing mode available as well, though you will have to upgrade a car to level 2 before it is unlocked. ![]() When you do reach these new maps, they will be available to you in the challenge mode as well as selectable as a new starting point (for the cost of a travel token) in this endless racing mode As you reach the end of one, you will have a choice of two new maps to race on, much like how the classic Out Run arcade game works. In the endless racing mode you will want to race as far as you can throughout an assortment of locations. Now, each area in the game has these three race types available to them in this mode, though you will have to unlock those stages in the default endless racing section first. One of them is a challenge mode that consists of timed races, item collection races, as well as a survival race mode. There are a few different racing modes to choose from. The theme works for this style of racer and it looks good in action, so I can't really complain. But whatever, this is what Atari chose to run with. So the theme doesn't make a lot of sense as a callback to the original in any way. Heck, even the release of the Atari 2600 version is dated at 1978. The overall theme is very reminiscent of a neon-filled '80s movie, which seems odd since the original game was released in the mid '70s. GraphicsĪs far as the graphics are concerned, they are serviceable and shine in a few areas, such as the car models. Sure it may look the part of a slick '80s racer, but when all things are considered, it's just another blatant cash grab that takes advantage of a fondly remembered property. There hasn't been a single moment that I have enjoyed anything about this title. Not only is it heavily balanced towards a ton of grinding so that its many IAPs look appealing, the amount of other annoyances placed into the game to push players towards those IAPs is simply criminal. There may be a few adjustments made to the game before it officially launches, so please take that into consideration when reading this hands-on. Due to its unavailability in my region, I have sideloaded the APK (version 1.0.2) in order to test the gameplay. I would like to briefly mention that Night Driver is a soft-launch title.
