Automobili Lamborghini Review (1997 Nintendo64)

Titus's Automobili Lamborghini is good, but when it comes to racing games, it doesn't break any new ground. It combines the simplicity of a game like Cruis'n USA with the more advanced options of a game like F1 Pole Position, but unfortunately it sits in a middle ground where a lot of people will probably overlook it. Those who want pure arcade action will opt for Cruis'n, while those who desire realistic racing will want F1, which leaves this game sitting on a fence, not quite an arcade game but not complex enough to depict realistic racing.

The Italian sports car company Automobili Lamborghini licensed their name to Titus for this game, thus fulfilling the dreams of any kid who wished he could race around in a real live Contach. The realism of the game, though, is mostly limited to manual versus automatic shifting and the chance to make pit stops during races. You don't get the chance, for example, to play around with the vital stats of your car or decide what type of tires your pit crew should put on, which makes those features seem like an attempt to simply offer something for the hard-core racing buffs.

This game is the most fun in arcade mode. There are a lot of tracks to choose from, and the computer-controlled cars are extremely hard to beat. Multi-player mode is fun, but playing with three other people and trying to keep track of your car and theirs on a four-way split screen can be difficult.

The controls are very touchy, making it hard to maintain your position around curves. You don't have to move the joystick much to turn your car. The instruction book recommends trying the "semi-analog" setting, and that seems to help a little. It can be frustrating to get the hang of the way this game handles, though; Cruis'n USA is much easier to adjust to than this one.

Overall, Automobili Lamborghini is a middle-of-the-road cartridge whose features will appeal to both racing aficionados and arcade-style racers, but ultimately those features have been implemented better in other games.
