Fells like an early 90s IBM-DOS game, but in all the good ways. I honestly can't explain it, so many games tried to mimic the look and feel of the old games to some degree of success, but most of them lacked something , a '' je ne sais quoi'', and while i won't claim this one is 100% there, it did manage to capture the magic of the old days.
First of all, the game is beautiful, i a very ''dirty'' way, the music is cool, but where it shines is the controls and overall feel of the gameplay, the cars feel right, the tracks feel right and you just find yourself in the zone when playing.
Best of all, this is one of those game that you get better the more you play and upgrades actually makes a difference.
I need to mention this, i grinded the first rally for hours to get money to fully upgrade my car, i must have raced the same 2 courses over 30 tiimes and it was still fun, now this is how u know a good game.
add the good price, the content and the generous release discount, so why are you still reading this, go and buy this game.

what can i say ? i played this game back in the early 90s with EGA graphics and the bleeps and bloops of a built in speaker on my 286 IBM PC with 1mb of ram, later got a sound blaster and it was my first game ever to hear real midi music and SFX, and one night i had a dream, that i played this game in SVGA and it looked glorious.
well, skip ahead 3 decades and i finally got my dream, BIO MENACE in SVGA and widescreen and all the bells and whistles.
A dream come true, a real joy for all old dos gamers like me, now we can only wish to see more remasters like this.
GOOD JOB FOR THE DEV TEAM, bravo.

Simply enjoyable, a way a video game should be, simple, fast , over the top and just plain fun. The game cycle is enjoyable, the grind is fun, the mechanics are sound and best of all, it just feels right, the way the weapons work, the enemies behave and how you have that ''just one go'' feeling all over you.
i admit, it has issues, the fact that you can't quit a run and then resume is weird, i reached floor 50 in one go but had to leave, didn't get a key for that floor, so i had to quit, not fair. The weapons are cool, but a couple more would be nice, mods aren't all useful, and some are so much more helpful and the rng most of the times work against you.
Other than that, i am sure the only issue is the $50 asking price, the only reason i got it was that it costs me around $2.77 , that was a 9 games bundle for $25, so i said ''heck, gonna get a 50% discount on this game and get 8 other games with it ? that is a great deal''.
if this game is $30 and u get it with a discount for around $20 to $25, it would be a great deal, but $50 for such a basic but fun game is too much.
that is why, always check sites, getting this for honestly $2.77 was an insane good deal and i still didn't touch the other 8 games, because i am playing this a lot and happy about it.

We need to talk about this ''sequel''.
When i first played it, i didn't enjoy it, i thought they ruined a good thing with what they changed, after a while, it grew on me, i started to appreciate the change, i started to vibe to the songs and then the game really clicked.
I think they could have done a few things, like chosen another song for the first one, maybe left autolock for missiles, maybe a few more songs but other than that, the game is great.
there is also some really stand out tracks on this, same as the one before, you will notice that you will fall in love with 2 or 4 songs , one of the songs in this game, it has a small area where the music matched the background in a magical way, i can't explain how i start bopping my head to it, that alone is reaoson enough to recommend the game.
i really hope for part 3.
p.s: got the first game for free on a giveaway, enjoyed it, least i could doo i buy the sequel and i did.
