Powerdrome description
A futuristic racing game with first person view along the narrow open tunnel on the surfaces of distant planets.
Title screen Go!
The action takes place in the XXIV century, good or bad – is difficult to determine (but probably still bad). Drive to be on the small planes of the type of gliders, instead of tracks, as has been said, - tunnels, but with the open sky (though sometimes meet and closed).
The tunnels are not "homogeneous" and not straight - not Tunnels of Armageddon here often for the next turn can wait for a really cool bend or curl so that break – nothing. Kind of helps the pattern color of the walls of the tunnels – it is possible to determine from a distance whether a section of the wall protrusion, or, conversely, niche. Often, attention to this detail, especially considering the high speed flight, can save lives.
There are much more interesting features – for example, different atmosphere on each of the planets, which have different influence on your vehicle. This should be considered when setting up the machine before the race – to put the desired filters (setting is responsible for a separate screen). On open roads the fuel consumption is faster, so there are small stocks. And so on – to study the characteristics of this "smart" race can be a long time.
Graphics almost three-dimensional, but I found it too monotonous. Alas, though the route is long, but contain just a few colors, no environment is completely absent. But it's understandable – Powerdrome still, in any case, not an arcade game this is a very complex and serious game, in which the passage of even a simple route is often a real feat, so to divert attention from the road should not be nothing. If you like the old "hardcore" racing with a touch of futuristics – you are welcome.
