The third thing you notice is how nice the graphics are. Iguana made heavy use of reflective surfaces when designing Re-Volt. All racing games nowadays have that feature, but Re-Volt seems to do it particularly well. Some later levels have reflective waxed floors. We're looking forward to seeing those in action! The cars themselves have detailed textures, and the maps are both detailed, and as we said, large!

Though we have not seen it, there will be what looks like an excellent level creation utility. You can play net-games over Acclaim-net and if you think you're level is worth it, even upload it and share it with others. This is a good move on Acclaim's part, as it should help make a Re-Volt racing community.

All in all, Re-Volt looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Everyone who has owned an RC car will probably appreciate the control and physics for their realism. Everyone else hopefully will enjoy the fact that it's just plain fun. The game isn't out yet, and we haven't seen the full version, but so far, we're impressed. We think it's going to be a good game and you'll be able to find out for real sometime around August this year. As soon as we can, we'll lay our hands on a full copy and give you our final opinion.
