HTR+ Slot Car Simulation

4/10 - Nostalgic, but also very buggy

really lacking

chose whaever car > upgradde grip > grind cash. That's it. Not a bad game basically tho', I came to the conclusion that as exciting slotcars are in real life, as unplayable is a simulation of those.

This game is all flash, and absolutely no substance. The only advantage HTR+ has over Virtual SlotCars (the other slot car sim on Steam) is the graphics, which do look nice. However, Virtual SlotCars is superior in every other aspect, including physics, progression, customization, and play value. The physics are abysmal in HTR+, particularly when it comes to stunt jumps and loop-de-loops; regardless of your skill or speed, it's a 50/50 crapshoot whether you crash/deslot when performing these maneuvers. Progression is gated behind a paywall of ingame currency which can only be earned the very first time you win a track, and then only when you clock a record lap time on that track (there is a cheesy way around this in which you can download a simple player-created map and incrementally achiever faster and faster record laps for payouts each time, then delete the map and redownload, rinse and repeat). This game punishes you for upgrading your car beyond a certain speed, and higher-level body shells make your car impossible to race. I can't imagine how difficult and frustrating this game must have been prior to the implementation of gamepad trigger compatibility. The camera angles are absolutely terrible in HTR+, two of which are virtually unusable. In ANY racing game, players must have the ability to see what's ahead of them, and you simply don't get that in this game. Some of the races start with wipeout curves you cannot see until you have wiped out. That's poor game design. A lot of love clearly went into the meshes and textures and track design, but that's about it. Everything else is exceptionally poor quality. This game only cost $7, but I still feel ripped off. If you want to play a solid slot car racing simulator, don't give this game another thought and go buy Virtual SlotCars for a similar price.

Loved slot cars as a kid. This takes it up 1000 percent. Beautiful graphics, easy game play with mouse or controller. Well thought out tracks so the cars dont fly off all the time so its fun to play and not an exercise in frustration. Very fun. Lots of tracks and different levels. Can upgrade cars. Good game.

somelanes on the champ tracks are unraceable....... As a slot car racer myself this is nothing like Slot racing

Für mich der beste Slotcar Racer. Und im Vergleich zu Virtual Slot Car hat man hier auch einen Schiebergeler und keine unrealistischen tasten die wo die Geschwindigkeiten standartisieren. Klare Kaufempfehlung P.s. Im Übungsmodus würde ich mir aber auch eine freie streckenauswahl wünschen. Außerdem wäre ein Modus mit Zeitrennen ganz cool und eine Auswahl ob man alleine mit 1,2,3 oder 4 Gegner fahren möchte Bitte das updaten dann wird es noch besser

HTR+ Slot Car Simulation. All of the frustration of REAL slot car racing, with none of the fun. Poor physics, poor UI, poor viewing angles, poor...well...you can see where this is going so it will be easier to list the positives. Ummm...the exit button works and the game uninstalls just fine. Seriously, don't waste your money. Watching a video of slot car racing would be infinitely more fun than playing this. So would watching paint dry. Watching grass grow. Watching rain fall. Watching ice melt.

I would recommand this game to those who played (and enjoyed) the IRL game, the other players may find the gameplay quite odd. The only few cons are the graphic textures a bit flat and the graphically poor UI, but in counterpart the game offers a lot of content with tons of tracks, championship, cars evolution, editor, community tracks, etc. The graphic engine will run at full fps on mostly all configs, it doesn't need a lot of resources and goes very fast in all three camera modes. About the controls, the idea to use the gamepad trigger to accelerate is cool because it reminds the IRL game, but I found it too sensitive on my xbox gamepad and I had to use the mouse instead, which works ok. 7/10

Essayé avec manette Xbox360 : la sensibilité de la manette est mal foutue et pas réglable dans le jeu : pratiquement injoueable. => désinstallé
