Good Game...Could Be Great – HTR High Tech Racing Evolution Review

I like this game a lot. Tons of fun but it still needs work to be considered a great game in my opinion. The cars need a bit more stability. They're really rough when driving thru a loop. Almost as if it were hitting jagged corners going around the loop instead of a nice smooth transition. You should also be able to bank a loop or tilt a loop on an angle. At least a slight angle. Right now if you bank a loop the cars on the inside lanes will stay on track but the outside lanes will never make it thru the loop. Also the computer should allow the cars to jump a little farther before stopping & resetting them on the track. A lot of times you jump a hair too far & it's flying towards a perfect landing & the computer resets the car on the track. More jump freedom would be awesome. The view in build mode. We REALLY NEED more view aspects during build mode. So many times I come into a problem with not being able to place a piece of track under an existing piece of track because I can't see the yellow arrow. Sometimes you can get lucky & slide it to the edge of the screen to reach it but many times it doesn't work. It gets very frustrating trying to build a se metrical track & it won't let you place a piece where you need it after your 75% complete with building the track. Another thing it could use is a longer straight piece & wider curves. I bought the extra track pieces thinking the bottom piece was a 3x straight piece & was quite unhappy with the zig zag pieces. Perhaps a description would be nice. A long 1/16 curve piece would also be nice to be able to make wider curves. A twist piece (both left & right) would be nice to make it easier to bank curves.
