Q What do you get if you cross a BMX
simulator, a Grand Prix simulator, a ski
simulator and a snooker simulator?
A An alarm-clock radio. Ha ha. Oh... Wrong
punchline. No, you get four sports simulators
neatly scrunched into one. (Ahem.) First to
scrogg it is
BMX Simulator - the game which
put the word 'simulator' into, erm, simulators.
Dash around billions of different bumpy
tracks on BMXs (avec an overhead view)
against the computer or a buddy with lots of
nice things such as replays and tunes and so
on. It's 'top notch'. Then there's
Grand Prix
Simulator - a complete
Supersprint rip-off,
yes (ie racing around Grand Prix circuits), but
squillions better. Much the same as its friend
BMX Sim come to think of it, except this time
there are no spooky ramps or bumps, hence
it's not quite such a laff. But still pretty good.
Verging more towards the skiing side of
things there's, erm,
Pro Ski Simulator. It's
your usual ski-down-a-slope-at-27-billion-miles-an-hour jobby. Playable but boring.
And finally we come on to
Pro Snooker
Simulator, which, to be honest, is a bit crap
really due to the severe lack of colours (pink
sort of flashes at you and green - well, don't
ask about green) and a complete lack of
realism - there are balls flying all over the
shop. And there, my luvvlies, you go. One
brill game, one good game, one not-quite-so-good-but-not-that-bad-either game, and one
crap one. What do you reckon, gang? Same
here. A complete barg.
