Le Mans 2 Review by: Snowchu - 3.9/10
MSX - Le Mans 2Once again, here's a brief review by yours truly, Snowdeath! This game is a MSX console game, called Le Mans 2, which is a racing game. First of all, before you start reading, let me tell you this. It is not worth playing this game because it screws your eyes when it starts to turn right or left, and the races takes too long. If you're interested in my review, then by all ways, go ahead.
Graphics are very high, because, given this game to be bad, the graphics are extremely decent for any MSX games, and it gives you a virtual 3D racing style. It isn't 10 because of the confusing turns on the screen, you'll never be sure if you were actually turning, or the car itself is spinning out of control, or neither, as it was a car behind you, or something like that. It sucks, but the overall graphics are very good for the MSX.
Sound is blank as always, since I am a deaf person, so I cannot rate the sound part. However, if you honestly want to hear about the sound rating, you can always check it out for yourself, or ask someone else. There are many reviewing sources, such as IGN and others, you can check them for sound ratings.
Addictiveness is a very low 2. Why? I wasn't feeling the hooking urge to play this game. In fact, I don't feel like playing it again, because it's so confusing in the game, even though it does look like a very fun game to play. I suggest you to maybe only play it once to get a taste of the game, and if you like it, then go ahead and play it!
Story is a poor score of one because it is literally just all about racing, and it doesn't even have a dialogue or any form of words except you see on the screen inside the car. There is a storyline, just a extremely poor one, as it is basically 'race and win!' type of story.
The depth is also very low, but slightly higher than the story rating, which is 2. Why? It has nothing to offer you, except potential waste of time, unless you love this game and you know how to play this game. If that's the case, well, I say kudos to you! It can be a while to beat it, but simply because the races are extremely longer than the usual race games, although there are almost nothing to do in this game except to control your car and win.
Difficulty is a high 10 because of semi-obvious reasons, which is that it's HARD. There's no mode or statements of whether if that is easy or hard, or anything. It is all hard, even in the start. It will be a extreme challenge for anyone who plays this on their first time, or at least, for most, except for those hardcore racing fans who probably could own this game easily.
Overall, I rated it a low score of 3.9. Yes, the graphics are very decent and nice for the MSX, but the game-play does not cut it enough for it to be worth any more above 4. Keep in mind this is only my 2 cents, and fully on my opinion. If you disagree, good for you, make your own review here! :)
