Coast Runners - Game preview / gameplay

Take to the open seas and race against other boats in Coast Runners, a boat-racing game that's fast-paced, addictive, and loads of fun. At first glance, Coast Runners might not look to be all that impressive. It may seem to be just another racer, but it's a whole lot more than that once you get deeper into the game. Of note are the graphics in the game. There's a great level of detail in the game, particularly with the tracks. Granted, all the ships are pretty much just palette swaps, but to say that the graphics are cheap because of that would be doing the game a great injustice. Just looking at the tracks, it's evident that there a whole lot of work went into them. You won't be getting any repeats of previous tracks. Rather, you'll have tracks filled with derelict cruisers, various breakwaters, and other obstacles that you'd expect to see out on the open ocean. The animations are also pretty good here. Youre boats don't just rotate around an axis upon turning, rather, you've got them banking and tilting in the water much as you'd expect from a real boat. More than that, you've got fluid jumps, crashes, and the sort as you splash around the track. Most impressive of all would be the wake your craft leaves as it passes through the water, not to mention the splashes it leaves behind as it moves. Not only are the graphics good, but you've got great audio here as well. You'll hear every splash and every movement of your boat. You'll even hear whale song on the levels that have them (and yes, you can use whales as ramps) and crashing logs on levels with debris strewn everywhere. The music is also pretty good, and while it's not fast-paced, it doesn't need to be as the game is tough enough to get by without that. The controls are pretty much what you'd expect from a top-down racer, and they should be easy enough to get used to. Perhaps the hardest thing to really master though is the inertia. Unlike racing on asphalt, here on the water you've got to deal with turning and moving while drifting about in the water. This makes the controls feel a bit loose, but with enough practice, it's easy enough to get used to. As aforementioned, the game is actually rather tough. You not only have to contend with an AI that's actually fairly competent, you've also got to manage courses that are twistier than the intestines of a snake doing yoga. There aren't any simple ovals here, rather, you're going to be splashing every which way as you fight for first place. In closing, Coast Runners is a solid racer that can offer a great deal of fun for a great many hours. Be sure to not miss it! ********************************************************** Subscribe to new gaming videos!    / freegamesexplorer   **********************************************************
