By Bozon Updated: 13 May am. Along with Destineer's release of Indianapolis Legends for Nintendo Wii, the company also put out a portable companion for Indy fans to enjoy while on the road.
Following the same core design, Indy Legends DS takes the concepts found in the console version and adapts them to DS, including everything from tilt now stylus control, pit mini-games, and legendary "true-to-history" racing.
This means you'll be trading in the supercharged cars of today for the more dangerous, unreliable cruisers of the past. And while the DS counterpart capitalizes in a few key areas, it still boils down to a very basic racer that will inspire only the most diehard of Indianapolis racing fans. We've seen the basic "touch racer" setup numerous times on DS before, and again Indy Legends goes the exact direction you'd expect it to.
You've got a gas button, brake button, and can either control the game via d-pad input or on-screen touch control. Any gamer looking to play this one without touch control is in for a bit of a disappointing venture, as the game's analog feel isn't translated well on the "on or off" d-pad controls.
Your best bet is to grab a stylus, get into a semi-comfy one-handed grip on the DS, and use the virtual wheel shown on the touch screen. Unfortunately, the charm we found in Indianapolis on Wii basic, though it was doesn't translate too well to DS. Since this historic racing harks back to generally slower cars and more technical races, it was absolutely essential to hit perfect lines and focus on drafting in the Wii version.
On DS, the sense of speed is there for the most part, but the actual physics system isn't, so hitting a perfect line isn't needed, and the game becomes just another simplistic point-and-drive racer. Graphics aren't that great but it's on the wii so i didnt't expect the graphics to be good. If you like racers at least rent it. This is actually a fun game. I love the mechanics of racing and the retro era.
The many negatives I see lament that only one track is This is actually a fun game. The many negatives I see lament that only one track is available. Well it is a game about one track I do agree that they should not have limited the car selection so much. But the various cars do drive differently. I suspect this might be a game where the hardcore doesn't get it.
It isn't mario kart, but it has its merits. By far the most I suspect this might be a game where the hardcore doesn't get it. By far the most effective driver aids on the platform, it is very hard to lose control in this game. Now if I could only avoid the pits, and only '60's cars?
Ignore Bob B. The Corporate Marketing Goon below. The only thing "accurate" about this game is the information about the cars and track The only thing "challenging" is trying to keep your lunch down due to severe nausea resulting from profound regret over wasting your money. Finally, the only thing "fun" here is laughing at the absolutely pathetic visuals Avoid this game at all costs, even if you are a die-hard racing fan.
Instead, save your money for Mario Kart. Essential Links.
