Product Description

Product Description

You don't really need to know what a magno-kinetic tripod is to speed it down a sinuous 360-degree track. Just get in, sit down, and hang on. MagForce Racing will have you racing down magnetized tracks at breakneck speeds, picking up offensive and defensive power-ups, and blowing away the competition. Each of the four skill classes comes with a creeping difficulty that paces your increasing skill. Perform well, and you will unlock all of the 22 tripods. These tracks, which incorporate vertical tunnels, corkscrews, jumps, underwater tubes, and artificial gravity, will take you through futuristic visions of Moscow, Hawaii, Mars, and other settings. Challenge up to three friends in a split-screen race. If you're not as good a driver, you can always beat them by using land mines, homing missiles, and assorted other weapons--or try the tractor beam, which attaches you to an opponent's tripod and then slingshots you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly Wipeout, but not exactly terrible either., August 20, 2000

This review is from: Magforce Racing (Video Game)

The first thing you will notice in this game are the graphics. Not because they are good, but because they are some of the ugliest on the Sega Dreamcast. Not a promising start, but after the initial shock, if you can REALLY persevere and play MagForce Racing for a while, you will start to realise it is actually half decent.

Although it starts off very slow, after you unlock a few things it really does speed up. There are also lots of excellent tracks to race on, some of them brilliantly designed. You do have to stick with the game for a while to unlock these, but they are worth the effort.

If you can forgive the fact that it seems hideous at first with its poor graphics, fairly average sound and not great to begin with gameplay, you will find some enjoyment from Mag Force. If more time and effort had been spent on it, it could have been great and perhaps even comparable to the Wipeout series of games.

3.0 out of 5 stars MagForce (Killer Loop?), August 27, 2000

For those of you who liked Killer Loop for the Playstation, you should love this. That's because it IS Killer Loop under another title. Imagine a swift, smooth, floating pod-racer without the roar. Not much noise or action, but plenty of speed. A bit untraditional in gameplay. One can't simply gun-it to win. One must use the offensive and defensive power-ups to gain ground. This makes it a bit more challenging. Excellent lighting effects. Music is typical techno style.
