Player's Review

"BADLANDS - From the creators of the classic Super Sprint comes Badlands fic conversion of the popular coin-op. A new ruthless sport has evolved in the arid wastelands of the Badlands. Sprint Racing with a killing touch a destructive battle between armoured cars. It's all out war on the track as players blast the drone cars and each other to finish first. Customise your racer with extra missiles, speed, tyres, turbo boosts and shields. Avoid oil spills and a host of hazards to race the eight unique tracks which increase in danger as the level of difficulty increases."

Not much to say about this one. The game features eight unique maps and after you have played through them, you will face them in reverse but with some extra obstacles on the track. Controls are slick and can be annoying. The graphics are not super great with some odd colour choices and it can be easy to get stuck on the walls.

It's a lot of work for the top score so four complete runs are shown although there is nothing new to see after the second run. The game gets quite broken during the second round with opponents unable to drive with all the upgrades applied. Much like Super Off Road the game is endless looping until you run out of credits.
