Interstate 82

Players assume the role of Taurus, a no-nonsense vigilante who teams up with Skye Champion in the search for her missing brother (Groove Champion, the protagonist from the original game). Its familiar action-oriented game play remains mostly intact. Players sit behind the wheel of turbo and weapon-charged cars and trucks (over 30 playable vehicles) and use a variety of bullet- or missile-based weapons to eliminate enemy vehicles, affectionately known as "Creepers."

The sequel's most unique aspect is the ability to hop out of your vehicle during a mission and enter another. The search for hidden (and better) cars provides some of the more interesting detours during the often-repetitive and visually inconsistent missions. Still, while offering a decent story line and plenty of auto-combat game play, Interstate '82 doesn't quite live up to the engrossing standard of its predecessor. --Doug Radcliffe
