Review: Super Laser Racer

on Tuesday, January 4, 2011
Brother to Geometry Wars, Super Laser Racer is an arcade racing game developed by New Star games and is a perfect example of a simple racing idea, polished into a high-quality racing game.

It's easy to play, but it can get tough, mines and missiles are exploding across the maps while some others might just want to get the best time to go on top of the leaderboards. It has a good replay value and great graphics that look like this is a relative of Geometry wars (it is). Getting good times or dynamiting everyone are paths to victory. You can jump into a dozen of ships to choose from including some to unlock through tournaments and races.


One big element in this game is the map editor. Lacking tutorials but not too hard to use, it gives the game a much greater replayabillity value and a longer life. With lots of blocks to choose from, you might just have a lot of fun. I heard someone say once "This game is like cigarettes, it's too addicting, and you might just lose your lungs to it, that is, being stuck to your seat".
There are also some really nice achievements ranging from blowing up multiple ships as you explode yourself to winning big tournaments and doing clean races. It's a nice little coffee break game as well as a very competitive, leaderboard-based game. A few bucks, a good racing game with more purpose than just to make minutes tick by.

If you want good racing quality, light graphics, a pit stop and weapons, then play this.
