Official Description (Ad Blurb)
Horizon Chase Turbo is a racing game inspired by the great hits of the 80's and 90's: Out Run, Lotus Turbo Challenge, Top Gear (SNES), Rush, among others. Each curve and each lap in Horizon Chase Turbo recreates classic arcade gameplay and offers you unbound speed limits of fun. Full throttle on and enjoy!
Horizon Chase Turbo has Multiplayer Split Screen support across all game modes, to rescue the nostalgia of playing with your best friends sitting on a couch all night long. The hard time is to know who is your best friend because this one is also the one to be beaten.
Horizon Chase Turbo brings back the graphics context of the 16-bit generation and creates a style that is inspired in the past without letting go of its contemporaneity. The apparent polygon and secondary color aesthetic accentuate the visual beauty of the game, resulting in a unique and harmonic atmosphere. You'll feel the retro soul of the game on a completely modern body.
Horizon Chase Turbo is a race around the world. With each new cup, you'll pilot your car through extraordinary places, watching the sun setting, facing rain, snow, volcanic ashes and even severe sandstorms. Be it day or night each track takes place in beautiful postcards from across the world.
Horizon Chase Turbo presents Barry Leitch, the musician behind the soundtracks of classic arcade racing games Lotus Turbo Challenge, Top Gear (SNES) and Rush. As you play the game, you'll be hypnotized by his charming tunes that complement the graphical ecstasy of each horizon.

The Good
'Horizon Chase Turbo', is a retro style racer that pays home to such beloved classics like the 'OutRun' franchise. However, it is a perfectly enjoyable and addictive game in its own right.
Featuring multiple stages within twelve stunning locations across the world, including the USA, Greece and Japan, 'Horizon Chase Turbo' has plenty of content to keep any racing fan amused for a long while. Although it is based on retro racers, the game has some pretty stunning visuals, including the beautiful beaches of Australia, the temples of India and the forests of South Africa. The soundtrack is also inspired, perfectly matching the vibes of the location the player is currently in.
With regards to the gameplay, nothing encapsulates the sweet feeling one used to get from playing the 'OutRun' games better than 'Horizon Chase Turbo'. Some stages are pretty challenging as to obtain the so-called super cup, the player has to collect a number of coins scattered throughout the race track and has to keep an eye on the fuel gauge otherwise one can easily run out of fuel and lose the entire race
The Bad
Having said all of this, the one defect of this game in my opinion is that some of the A.I. of the other racers could be improved. Sometimes, two or more cars group together making it virtually impossible for the player to pass them without hitting something. And when you try to pass them some will rather cheaply try to swerve you off the path by hitting you.
The Bottom Line
This is an outstanding game for those who love retro racing games. Even those that do not will find it pretty hard not to enjoy this beautifully presented game.
