#ROAD TRIP ADVENTURE PCSX2 CONTROLS UPGRADE#

It’s kind of like trying to play any sport you can think of with a bumper car. Playing soccer with other cars is always a treat, as is playing golf.

On top of all the RPG-style play and the racing, there are many mini-games as well. For such a simple game, Road Trip is surprisingly addictive! The overworld is huge and I spent many hours just driving around to see what I could find, hitting odd hillsides to try and launch my car and driving through rivers and fields.

This of course means you also get to explore the overworld, which I found to be one of the most entertaining parts of the game. But to be able to compete, you’ll have to get your car upgraded, which means running missions around the countryside day and night. To do so, you must win a certain number of races, which you can do at any time. There are tons of different tracks, and to progress in the game, you have to earn higher rated licenses. You get new tires, engine, different paint and more. In this case it’s almost like buying new armor and weapons in an RPG.

The controls are decent, but as with any racer, get better as you upgrade your vehicle. The cars talk to each other through headlight flashes and horn honks, and ask each other for favors and help each other out. You play a small racecar who goes around talking to other cars, racing, playing games, running errands, and so on. So what is Road Trip you ask? Well, it’s a car role playing game. Of the two, Road Trip is the superior game in general. Fortunately, Atlus later followed suit with Choro Q for PS2, so there are a couple to pick from, but only if you own a PS2. The Japanese have gotten to play these fun quirky games for years, but us poor North Americans never got a one until Conspiracy Entertainment ported Road Trip here. It’s the original CARPG, Road Trip!įor those of you who aren’t familiar, Road Trip is actually one of the newer games in a long line of titles that were never ported to the US. In fact, it’s one that I personally missed until someone pointed it out to me. Today we’re looking at a more recent game for the sleeper of the week.
