I can't remember what possessed me to buy BC Racers. From the package artwork it looked like a cute, cartoony kind of racing game but I usually hate racing games. However, I had just recently got a Sega CD and this was one of the games in the shop and it was rather cheap so I figured why not.
As a racing game it's more like Mario Kart than say OutRun. All you do is lap the same course over and over. Obviously there are different courses and such but they're all flat terrain and not that interesting. They have all the usual perils and hard bits but there was an overwhelming blandness to it.
The hook of this game was that it was set in the stone age and the racing karts were a lot like the kind of vehicles that Fred Flintstone would drive. I guess it was kinda cute. But it still lacked invention and creativity.
I did actually finish this game on my own without cheating. Which is weird since it wasn't really addictive and I did attempt it several times. I felt no joy when I finally got there.
BC Racers is a very average game in all departments. If you see it in a bargain bin and you just love Kart Racing games then give it a shot.
