Lean and hungry for
victory? Mean and menacing
zipped into skin tight leathers
and helmet? Sounds like you
- then you should be playing
this game! 'Cos this is
Speed
King 2, the motor cycling
simulation from Mastertronic.
The game has one or two
player facility and is keyboard
compatible but swoons with
delight at the touch of a
joystick. Push it forward for
faster, ease back for those
tricky bends where you must
lean to left or right. With one up
you start last of twenty riders
which gives you plenty of
opportunity to blast your way
through to become leader of
the pack.
Two up is real head to head
stuff - just feel that adrenalin!
The visors eye view on a split
screen gives you a superb
sense of suspense and speed.
There are nine different
courses ranging from Monza to
Daytona, each with its own
particular character.
This game's built for speed!
There's none of that nasty
crashing or falling off which
slows everything down.
Okay, so the graphics aren't
pretty (all the courses seem to
be in deserts), and there are no
sub-screens where you can
assess your race status or
predict the bends of the course
but this game's great fun to
play. Thrills and spills without
the frills!
