Harley davidson race across america pc download

The game was released in , but nobody ever outgrows the coolness of motorcycles, and the game is surprisingly well made from the time despite the pixelated graphics. If you like to ride, however, hop on and hang tight because this game is still one worth a mention. When you boot up the game, you are instantly hit with the classic, nostalgic retro feel of the 90s and early s.

Surprising for its time as well, the player can actually alter the graphics to fit their computer to the limit of 90s graphics, of course and can even choose from multiple views including first person, third person, and a behind view. This lets the player choose just how immersive they wish to become inside the game.

One special thing about Harley-Davidson: Race Across America, is that the races take place on roads that actually exist and feature landmarks from around the United States. After topping all of the other roadkill you will be racing against, the player gets to race in the famous Sturgis Bike Rally.

While racing in various parts of the nation, players can also customize their Harley and choose from five different models, to give them a unique feel of riding. With a soundtrack of classic road songs as well, the makers of Harley-Davidson: Race Across America wanted to ensure that players got the full Harley lover experience. On top of all these unique single player features, the game also offers a multiplayer racing mode, where players are able to face off to each other over LAN or Internet connections.

I believe I would have loved playing this game if I were around to do so in , but the critics rating it so low lead me to believe they know something I do not. There are also other cars on the road that look fairly realistic. The game has all these good graphical objects, but still manages to not look like anything special. When playing the game, you will have to stop at many gas stations along the way so that your race can continue, otherwise you'll be forced to travel at very slow speeds for the duration of the race.

This feature is somewhat authentic, but also very annoying at the same time. You have to pit for gas about every 2 minutes, which is very agitating.

The racers on the road aren't that intelligent either. They just end up letting you pass them, without much of a fight.

The only challenge is to avoid on-coming cars and stay on the road, as you will slow down greatly in the dirt. The control doesn't help these situations either.

When you happen to shift into the dirt, the sticky controls are delayed and you turn to late forcing you all over the place. Some tweaking was needed here to create decent controls for all players. The other presentation aspects like music are very solid.

The tracks are perfect for the atmosphere of the game, but unfortunately there aren't that many of them. Sound effects are very normal, consisting of droning engines and gas station bells. Voice samples are something that is absent from this game, too bad.

Overall, this is a game that could've used some patching in the graphical and control departments. Everything just looks so basic and plain, there isn't a lot of diversity. Also, if you were able to control your bike a bit better, things might've been more enjoyable. Still, there is some cool music and multi-player support. A very average effort from G2M. Graphics: The visuals are very bland, with repetitive-looking areas, repeated landscapes, and no real excitement.
