Power Slide

As the 3DO gets more and more licensees who are bringing out games, a few games in particular stand out from the rest. Elite is working on a racing title called Power Slide.

Power Slide is a fast-paced racer that features texture-mapped backgrounds and realistic roads to race on. Practice all of your racing skills, because you'll need them here. Learn how to do drifts and power slides around turns and how to use the slipstream of another car. Your vehicle can be either manual or automatic, depending on your preference. Power Slide offers players plenty of technique.

The graphics of Power Slide are most impressive, with lots of great scrolling, scaling and rotation. They make great use of the 3DO's ability to store massive amounts of memory on CD. The audio matches the rest of the game, too.

There still aren't all that many racing games around, especially ones that utilize realistic settings. Power Slide looks and sounds impressive, so you might want to consider trying it out. Look for more on Power Slide in the future.
