Net Yaroze Month: Hover Car Racing

In Net Yaroze Month, we are playing every Net Yaroze game featured on the UK Official Playstation Magazine, and ranking them all in the order we liked them. You may have other opinions as to the ranking, which is awesome.

To learn more about Net Yaroze, read our introductory article here.

If you like top-down racers such as Super Sprint or Micro Machines, you might get a kick out of Hover Car Racing.

You can play either in ‘arcade’ mode against three other cars (one of which can be another player), or in ‘time trial’ mode, where you are against the clock.

There is 8 tracks to choose from to add some variety, and there is also a ‘night’ mode where your view is limited to what you can see in your headlights.

Fun for thirty minutes, but probably wouldn’t pick up again.
