Jaguar XJ220

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You participate in a championship against the best super cars across 12 countries, driving an awesome Jaguar XJ220! All tracks are mixed between different visual effects like daylight, night time, fog, rain, wind, snow, ice and blizzards. While racing, you need to go to the pits to refuel so this adds to the fun, especially if you are playing in a two-player mode which is presented on a split screen perspective! At the end of each track you will see the final standings and the overall positions in the race. From here, you must repair any damage that your car sustained or even customize your Jag! But a repair and a car customization costs a lot of money and you'll need to reserve some cash for the more advanced races. The game also offers the ability to edit tracks via a handy and flexible editor! The tracks you load can be edited by clipping sections on and then you can either flip, rise or lower them, as well as add some side objects, bridges, tunnels, waterfalls and a myriad of other different goodies. Finally, all edited tracks can be saved on a disk! This feature sounds really innovative for its time! The game is a really joy to play and competes directly with the Lotus series, offering more tracks than Lotus 2 and a lot harder difficulty level!

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The graphics on the Amiga look good, with colorful backgrounds and fast, smooth scrolling, especially at high speeds! The cars move nicely and quite smooth too! The weather conditions are superbly done, especially the gloomy and slightly scary fog! The game's sound is also great, with a catchy introductory theme and a variety of nicely composed, strong soundtracks, during each race. There is also the option to skip music and play with some nice, digitized, sound effects.
