DT:R is pretty much the videogame version of the well-known movie \u2018Death Race\u2019. In Death Track: Resurrection, you\u2019re a new racer that participates in a Death Race Tournament, only to find yourself involved in evil plans and conspiracies, with<strong> no option<\/strong> but to <strong>race and survive<\/strong> the whole way to the finish line (And in first place if possible).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Death Track: Resurrection Official Trailer\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m5gcrxIYq20?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Gameplay and Features<\/h3>\n<p>The races take place in futuristic versions of renowned places like Prague, Tokyo or New York, using both modern and<strong> futuristic weaponry<\/strong> like machine guns, laser guns, and guided rockets.

The perks can be stacked up to 5 times (besides the ammo refueler), each new level granting more of the bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the game, you\u2019ll take hits from stationary AI as well (like guard bots), making the racing a lot more difficult. <strong>DT:R is relatively slow-paced<\/strong>, no sensation of high speed whatsoever, but this is not necessarily a bad thing since you\u2019ll be occupied cleaning the road infested with opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, the combat and the hunt for perks suck me up too much to barely acknowledge where I am in the circuit, how many laps are left or in what position I am. The <strong>shooting system<\/strong> is composed of both <strong>automatic or manual<\/strong> aiming and you can choose through a keybind what you want the automatic aiming to go for first, buildings or vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t <strong>too many downsides<\/strong> in the game, the only prominent one being perhaps the repetitiveness (requiring a large amount of patience to reach the endgame).<\/p>\n<h3>Cars, Customization, Tuning and Tracks<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-34917 size-medium\" title=\"Action scene from game\" src=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"crash scene\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection-250x140.jpg 250w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection-510x286.jpg 510w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/death-track-resurrection.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>There are in <strong>total 10 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.igcd.net\/game.php?id=100000252&amp;PHPSESSID=&amp;width=1366\" target=\"_blank\">vehicles<\/a>, <strong>unlockable<\/strong> as you finish each new race.

Each power-up has 2 levels of usage. To reach the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level of the weapon, you have to pick-up the same power-up again (for example: 2 Rocket Power-ups, 2 Machine Gun Power-ups and so on). You\u2019re also <strong>allowed to transform<\/strong> into nitrous the <strong>weapons<\/strong> you don\u2019t use, especially when you\u2019re in the first place and have no one to aim at. Following, will be a <strong>short description of the power-ups<\/strong> covering they\u2019re both levels of efficiency.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Machine Gun<\/strong>: Nothing much to say about it, it equips your plane with machine guns which are <strong>used to fire at the opponent<\/strong> (obviously). The crosshair allows for mistakes as it isn\u2019t needed to have your crosshair 100% accurate on the target. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: Fires one magazine of bullets. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: Fires double the amount.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Rockets<\/strong>: A rocket launcher with target-lock feature. It can shoot one rocket a time or all at the same time. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: Shoots 2 rockets. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: Shoots 4 rockets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EMP bomb<\/strong>: You become an EMP bomb which can be detonate whenever you wish, but it doesn\u2019t affect you upon triggering it. <strong>Everyone around<\/strong> you will <strong>get<\/strong> damaged (or exploded depending on their condition) and slowed down for around 2-3 seconds. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: Medium range and damage capability. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: High range (~10 meters) and damage capability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mine<\/strong>: The only weapon you can leave behind you, it does what a mine bomb is supposed to do. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: Leaves one orange glowing mine bomb floating in the air. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: Leaves 3 of them one in a line, spinning endlessly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repair Kit<\/strong>: It<strong> repairs the plane<\/strong> if it suffered damages from attacks or crashes. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: Half of the HP is restored. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: Full HP is restored.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shield<\/strong>: Helps you<strong> defend against enemy attacks<\/strong>. 1<sup>st<\/sup> level: 1 cover of shield. 2<sup>nd<\/sup> level: Double the amount of shield.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Worth mentioning, the <strong>smart missiles can be avoided<\/strong> if you get in front of another plane or get a tight turn behind\/near a wall.<\/p>\n<h3>Planes and Tracks<\/h3>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode\" class=\"sixtop-post-quote post-quote-right\" >\n<div class=\"quote-sign-box hidden-on-desktop\"><\/div>\n<p>        &ldquo; Easy at the beginning, Hell on Earth towards the end &rdquo;<\/p>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode_after\">\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <strong>planes<\/strong> in the game<strong> represent a few generations<\/strong>, from the world wars to the stunt planes and modern day wings.

Those that are made for street racing will perform worse on the off-road, while usually the <strong>off-road vehicles have a lower top speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>customization<\/strong> in the game is rather <strong>limited<\/strong>, from a few dressing items for the player to pre-made liveries and paintworks for the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>One <strong>bad thing about the game<\/strong> is that all the <strong>vehicles tend to drift<\/strong>, even on the asphalt without using the handbrake, which can become quite annoying if you\u2019re not an addicted drift fan.

But if no one&#8217;s around, you&#8217;re pretty much screwed.

The <strong>first maps have an easy route<\/strong> made of a few curbs in order to get acquainted with the game in a relaxing way, while <strong>towards the end<\/strong>, it can <strong>become crowded<\/strong> with shortcuts, curbs and powerups to assure the maximum mayhem. As stated above, the maps represent human-sized places that are often visited in real life, like your home, a museum, a yacht, a supermarket and so on. The<strong> tracks are fun<\/strong> with little effects here and there allowing a bit of sightseeing whilst trying to keep the pole position, all the while driving at the insane speed of 50km\/h.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-35036 size-medium\" title=\"Catching the trophy, Re-volt\" src=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Re-Volt-Game-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"re-volt, race\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Re-Volt-Game-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Re-Volt-Game-250x187.jpg 250w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Re-Volt-Game-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Re-Volt-Game.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The game also <strong>contains a basic level editor<\/strong> which allows the users to create their own tracks. Though they don&#8217;t have the ability to add surroundings like sky, shelves, trees or other props, they do <strong>offer a variety of pathways<\/strong> as well as the ability to modify their height and both vertical and horizontal inclination, plus the possibility to add pick-ups.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4QStbsJFLB8\" target=\"_blank\">The editor <\/a>automatically adds a basic AI for the opponents that matches the track built. Their difficulty isn&#8217;t great, the player having a great advantage. Thus <strong>creating the map might be fun<\/strong>, but playing it, not so much&#8230; unless you enjoy easy wins.<\/p>\n<h3>Mods<\/h3>\n<p>The game allows an extended number of mods, mainly new Cars and Tracks (besides the ones made with the internal level editor). You can, with the help of a fan-made patch, install up to ~<strong>25000 cars and 500 tracks<\/strong>. Also the game has a fan-made Multiplayer Client, dubbed RV House, which is <strong>still alive even today<\/strong>. More over, the game benefits from custom patches meant to solve some bugs and add some new options. All of them can be checked by searching RVZT on Google.<\/p>\n<h3>Pros:<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; The fun is guaranteed<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Multiplayer is still alive<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lots of mods available<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Various enviroments<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lots of car models<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Harmful weapons dressed in cute designs<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Awesome graphics for it&#8217;s time<\/p>\n<h3>Cons:<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; None i can think of<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> <strong>PS\/Windows\/Nintendo<\/strong> &#8211; July 1999, <strong>Dreamcast<\/strong> &#8211; December 1999, <strong>iOS<\/strong> &#8211; Oct. 2012, <strong>Android<\/strong> &#8211; April 2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Racing<\/p>\n<p><strong>Developer:<\/strong> Acclaim Studios London<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Acclaim Entertainment<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong>: &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steam Store Page:<\/strong> The game is not available on Steam<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gameplay<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yiJh4gEkc3g\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yiJh4gEkc3g<\/a> (This is a little project I worked on, 8 years ago, when I got my hands on a very old PC (reason why there\u2019s that awful FPS).
