Players can choose between stock car and Ind圜ar racing, and either take a quick spin around any of the tracks on offer or tackle a full season. As per usual with EA Sports titles the presentation is excellent, with suitably annoying music and a truck-full of FMV sequences - including a series of interviews with Super Mario himself. If you're one of those people prone to keeping candlelight vigils outside public toilets sprayed ten years previously by one of your heroes - or, to be more specific, if you're a saddo fan of Mario Andretti himself - you'll obviously love this game. You'll need to switch viewing angles constantly to look ahead for approaching turns and behind for approaching drivers. Midrace, you can switch between split-screen- rear, race-leader, and overhead camera angles without pausing. Prerace options include the ability to choose track-level Nose Cam or behind-the-car Chase Cam views.
Increasing your involvement in the races is the multiple-view feature. Throughout the race, your car handles smoothly and precisely as it executes your most subtle moves. During the race, you have plenty to think about, such as deciding how far you can go between pit stops and picking the right time to draft a car ahead of you. Before the race, you customize virtually every aspect of your car from the engine to the tranny to the paint. You can select three types of racing experiences - Indy cars on twisty tracks, stock cars on a mixture of simple and complex courses, and sprint cars on big dirt ovals. Anyone who enjoys this game should check out Andretti Racing, a sequel released in 1997.ProTip: Take your first few laps He'll help you execute maneuvers such as a Sprint-Car Slide.Ībundant options are the strength of Andretti Racing. Overall, it's a solid racing game that offers some new ideas and decent realism, though it's nothing earth-shattering. The best feature of the game is undoubtedly the innovative 'career path' option that tracks your progress from rookie to circuit champion, a really cool feature for its time that sadly wasn't followed by later games. The driving was fair, even for the time, but with six different types of cars. A nifty little title that challenged racers to a variety of series and then allowed them to spend the resulting prize money as they moved up the ranks to 'Championship Cars'.
I'm not a fan of the early 90's 3D polygons in racing games, but Mario Andretti offers some pretty interesting racing action for its time. It features a fun career mode and a nice selection of different tracks and cars, from Sprint Cars and Stock Cars to Formula 1 and Indy. Nice 3D racing game from Canadian racing game experts Distinctive Software.
