With the exception of the color, nothing has been improved. The frame rate is inexcusably
choppy, especially since other games like Metal Head and Darxide used fully textured
polygons and maintained a better frame rate. B.C. racers uses an unimpressive mode-7
scaling effect, just a blatant rip-off of Nintendo's classic. Actually playing the game is a miserable experience. Nighttime stages use the worst lighting effect in the history of this industry. It makes it impossible to see ahead of you, blinding you to the upcoming hazards, and failing to let you know where you need to go. Other stages feature randomly strewn about objects that stop you to a crawl.
Even though it rips Mario Kart off in other ways, it doesn't have any power-up system. Instead, you can use the character in your side car (if your choice has one). This kills any excitement, and while it does take away the randomness that can be frustrating, it doesn't require skill either. There's no sense of speed as the course meanderingly flows beneath your tires.
The audio suits the game, so much as it's just follows the game's pattern of awfulness.
It's a few tossed together beats that don't seem to fit with the caveman theme. Sound
effects are sparse and at times, you wonder if there are any included. The 32X hardly needed a racing game, especially with Virtua Racing already available. It also didn't need anymore terrible software, but obviously, certain companies didn't figure that out. This, along with a few other titles (Motocross Championship, Cosmic Carnage), are barely worth owning for collectors, let alone people who actually enjoy video games.
