R.C. Pro Am is a racing game developed by RARE in 1988. If differed from most racing games at the time on Nintendo as you played from an isometric view and of course your controlling a remote controlled racer.

Graphics: 8/10

It worked for what it was supposed to be. A racing game. Well designed RC Cars and a race course. There are also hazards such as oil slicks and random brick walls on certain tracks and rain puddles that slow you down on the track. You can tell what is what on the track. Its not the most color schemed game on the NES but it works for what its going for and doesn't distract from the action.

Sound: 8/10
The sound is pretty much simple. You hear the RC engines vrooming, some screeching tires on turns, crash sounds, Etc. Etc. All that you would expect from a racing game. But it also has some catchy tunes in its soundtrack and before and after races that will stick in your head. Also it doesn't play all thru the race. You only hear it at certain points during the game.

Addictiveness: 9/10

Once you start playing you will find yourself wanting to play again trying to best your last run. If you like racing games this is offers something different to the genre. Its fun and straight to the point.

Story: 3/10

No story. Just race to win but don't finish worse than 3rd or you will have to use a continue.

Depth: 7/10

It has plenty of tracks and each on differs from the last as some have lots of hazards, some are fast with few or no hazards, some have many turns while others do not. The only negative is that it is a one player game so your playing against AI opponents the whole time.

Difficulty: 4/10
The game gets harder as you progress as the AI cars get faster you have to keep improving your car by picking up items on the track. But you also have missiles and bombs to help you take out cars in front and behind you. This helps as you progress in the game. The controls are simple enough as all you do is accelerate,stop, turn, and shoot at the other cars. Your RC car also responds very well to the controls so its no delay when you have to make quick turns.

Overall: 8.5/10

Overall I give R.C. Pro Am a 8.5. Its easy to play, its very fun and challenging trying to win on all of the tracks. If you love racing games give this one a try. You can't lose.
