Porsche Challenge (PlayStation)

The compilation comprises of three, genre spanning, quality games. Porsche challenge is the little brother of Porsche unleashed, and is based purely on the Bolster. Its good clean arcade fun, almost, but not wanting to be simulation. Good for an aggression session. Populous is god game, good for all ages, especially those who fondly remember the original (when will they bring us a new Power Monger?) for those with time on their hands. Finally NBA 2000 is basketball at its digital finest. EA brings basketball to us with the same finely crafted detail as it does soccer in its Fifa series. Good ... more

the limiting factor about games that are named after a product is that it will only feature that product, so if its endorsed by a car manufacturer it will only feature the said manufacturers cars. So better make it a good car manufactuer. This game has good graphics but isnt as detailed in the way it handles unlike dodge viper racing. It is essentially an old styley racing game from the early 90s with straight roads and the occassional corner. Choose from a variety of cars from the porshe range but It soon lost my interest. ... more

Porsche Challenge was hyped by the gaming press to the max, and therefore, was a bit of a let down when it was released. The graphics, although ground breaking for their time, soon started to look a bit tired compared to releases being produced only a month or two later, and the playability of this game is severely limited through a severe lack of options.

Ever fancied driving a Porsche??? Well as long as its a Boxster then this is your game. Out under the Platinum budget range, it could be a choice for those rainy afternoons, but does it match up as a racer?? In a short answer....yes and no. Yes it looks nice, tracks are good, a nice choice of drivers all with different coloured cars and personalities, and the ability to just race straight away without wading thru menus and options. But at the end of a few races you start to wonder where the depth in this game is, and there is none. Only a few tracks, which change slightly by tacking bits on ... more

This game is not really worth the effort, it is now an old game and displays this throughout. First off, there are four main tracks, each with a longer and shorter variation. Each track also has an interactive version, where by the sections of the track switch between the long and short versions. Finally, each of the variations of tracks has a "mirror mode" variation. Despite all of these "variations," there are still in effect only 4 tracks. These are; alpine, janpan, usa and stuttgart. Four tracks may seem few, but there are even fewer cars; just one! The only choice you have is the colour ... more
