Another appeal to the game is the level of detail and realism present. For instance, you can't leave your car if the door is blocked, but once outside, you can run, dive, shoot back, and commandeer other cars. This level of depth permeates everything, and enhances the fun. The graphics on Battlewheels perfectly capture the spirit of the game. Images are drawn appropriately, mixing gritty views with clear and concise displays.
Sprites are distinctive and scaling is used extensively, though things never become too blocky.
Extra touches round out the visuals, such as the drivers' assorted expressions and the garbage-pelting crowd at the end. While the sounds do not set any new trends on the Lynx, they are done well and used appropriately. A few tunes play between duels, but the roar of the engines and bursts of weapons fire sharply punctuate combat. Sounds and alerts are unique, which helps attentive players to follow the action, and stereo is used during the fights to convey the location of enemies. Comments Beyond Games has hit the Lynx community in a big way, as Battlewheels is a high-quality title that promises plenty and delivers it all.
