Much to my surprise, Mad Trax , the new game from Project Two Interactive , granted clemency to a few trees and omitted the storyline in the manual. Thankfully, that's the only missing feature in this fast-paced racing game. Mad Trax falls into the ever-expanding category of offensive racing, i.e., shoot the car ahead of you to cross the finish line first. Mad Trax provides more racing thrills than offensive kills, striking the right balance between steering technique and weapons management. Unlike S.C.A.R.S. , where offensive and defensive weapons are the prominent game feature, Mad Trax allows players to keep their nose to the pavement and win the race through driving skill alone.
Tracks have both bumps and smooth surfaces.
In fact, it is. And that, my friend, is the beauty of the game. The weapons are effective for gaining position on your opponents, but aren't the only excitement in the game. Mines create hazzards for the trailing cars and Invulnerability shields you from these nuisances when you lead. Graphics are among the best you'll find in an arcade racer.
