Jeremy McGraths Offroad
SCORE: 91
How many racing games out there look
really good? How many of them feel good as well? I have found in Jeremy
McGrath’s Offroad on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The Xbox 360
version was used for this home console review. This game looks really
nice, and plays really nice. That combination can be difficult to find.
The little graphical effects in Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad are exceptional.
Dust kicking up can obscure the players view just like in the real
world. The mud can be throw up as well. The stages in Jeremy McGrath’s
Offroad exhibit all kinds of diversity. We race in the morning, in the
evening, mid day, and more. We race in dirt, ice, and more.
Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad feels like an off road racing game. We have to
deal with left turns, right turns, and all kinds of bumps. Those bumps
can lead the player into flipping their vehicle over and over again.
While it may be impressive to watch your vehicle cartwheel once, we lose
time and sometimes a race for that kind of a mistake.
Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad includes a wonderful tool that assists the
players. It is a voice that tells us what is coming up. Things like hard
right, S curves, medium left, and more. This voice gave me just enough
time to plan for the upcoming course change. My one complaint is I did
not see an on screen map to know how close I was to the finish line.
There is no reason for gamers to race dirty in Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad.
In fact racing clean allows the player to pass much faster. There are
experience points for passing vehicles in Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad, and
for winning races. These can be used on the vehicles to improve their
stats. I noticed mild differences when I improved vehicles.
The best mode to start out in is the career mode. After that arcade can
be fun. I am still shocked at how many race tracks there are in Jeremy
McGrath’s Offroad. Gamers will get their moneys worth out of Jeremy
McGrath’s Offroad. If you like to compete against others then there is
also an online mode. The ten dollar price tag is extremely reasonable in
this reviewers opinion.
