Motorama

I bought this game out of an obsession with old American cars and hot rodding. In the screenshots it looked as if there were some convincing recreations of classics like the '59 Fairlane, '61 Thunderbird and first generation Corvette. The last time I can recall a notable racing game focusing on this subject was EA's shortlived MMO "Motor City Online" back in 2001 which only survived a couple of years before the servers were shut down. So what do you get for your money with this game? Well, not a lot really. The cars, it seems, have not been officially licenced, so although they look convincingly enough like the real things, the names of their manufacturers have been changed. However, their actual model names are in many cases preserved. For example, there is a '53 Chevy 210 which is actually called a '53 210 but supposedly built by "Oceanic". There is a '53 Cadillac Eldorado called a '53 Eldorado but by "Belvedere". The models have Chevrolet and Cadillac badges, respectively, and hav...

It's not bad for a Unity game at it's current price point. I'll definitely get my money's worth out of [i]Motorama[/i]. The Good: The cars are interesting. There is a [i]lot[/i] of customization for each and every car. The game definitely pushes all my nostalgic [i]Street Rod[/i] buttons. Can't wait to build up a garage of custom classics! You definitely need brakes to take corners, so it's not 100% arcade racer. The Bad: Music is loud and repetative (volume seems to reset after races). Controls are awkward to set (prelaunch menu w/o labels) and default setup is strange (shoulder buttons for manual shift). Sound effects are mediocre, definitely missing the rumble of leaded fueled V-8s (in the early game, anyway). AI opponents clip through NPC traffic but you do not (!!!). "Drifting" was called "powersliding" in the 60's. ;) The Ugly: Being a Unity game, graphics settings are bare bones (resolution and low/med/high). Cars do not shade when driving through tunnels. Co...

Main reason for writing a review in this case? That game is better than "Mostly Negative" and I would have missed 5 hours of fun if I´d given a damn about those negative reviews. I bought the game for about 5 € and ended the game in 5 hours: 1€/h is ok. There haven´t been any major bugs. Driving is ok (getting better with the upgrades that you aquire in the game). Gfx are ok. If you know what you are doing the game is easy and since there are still levels that you have to repeat with better equipment later on it seems reasonable to me. An option to switch to harder difficulty would be as nice as the game remembering that you´ve turned the music off before the race - those are the only "negative" things imho (considering that I bought it for 5 €). p.s. if I would have bought it for the full price I would be as pissed off as all the other negative reviewers ^^

Motorama, at the state in early 2018, is still somewhat troubled and glitched arcade racing game about American cars of the '50s and '60s, which is not worthy of the full price... but Ok with the discount of 75% or better. Even if you're in deep love with the cars of the named time period, It's certainly not good for your 20$... but might be a decent buy for around 5$ and a certainly good pick for a price below 2$ (the winter Steam sale 2017-2018 level). It is also might be a worthwhile choice for achievement hunters, for relatively easy, fast (2-4 hours) and fair complete game badge. Some words about many negativities towards this game. The game was released in late 2014, and still updating, adding little patches here and there. Who was holding the hand of the developers before the release, who urged them to test obviously very raw product on the actual buyers - is not really a question. The devs were lazy and overconfident and took the feedback they were deserving. However, speaki...

I don't like writing reviews about how bad a game is. I usually try to find the positive in any game I play. This game has the potential to be a good, decent budget racing game but with the current problems it has at the moment keep it from being that. First off its a simulation game that thinks its a arcade racer at times. I played this with a PC controller that’s shaped like a Xbox controller and a wired Xbox One controller. And with both controllers the steering is a little too sensitive at low speed. Even with a car fully upgraded its still real sensitive. No matter which car it was it would want to run off the road with just a slight push. Speaking of off road, when did dirt and grass feels like driving on ice? The road itself the game is fine. But once you go off-road, it feels like you're taking your car with street tires onto a frozen lake. There’s absolutely no traction at all once you're off the road. Even with one of the tracks having what looks like short cuts, they off...

This game is terible. Its archade as archade gets. It is repetative the music is the exact same track the entire time. I have no idea why this game has mostly positive reviews unless the maker of the game wrote every review him self. Do your self a favor and save your money this game is not worth it.

Initial look is that this is a good fun game. Very simple graphics and simple game play put together to give a fun game. There is similarities to the very old Street Rod game and this is actually the reason why I purchased the game in the first place. After playing for a few hours you get tired of the glitching graphical bugs, the game possibility of a game breaking bug that gives you a negative 214,000,000 points for a progression acheivement. And of course putting all that behind to realise that not only is the game very very short (3 to 4 hours repetitive game play, but it is impossible to complete. There is a race map with a graphical glitch where you cannot see the road or ground at all. And of course the game will not let you progress until you place in the race without ground. Also a note on the full controler support. This game was built around a controler so much so all the menu options are "A", "B" or "X" with each not actually corrisponding to actual keyboard keys. I would...

Bought it just because I had lot of fun playing Street Rod and Streed Rod 2. Sadly it has full controller support but no keyboard support at all. Right now I'm on my way to the shop to get a controller.

Music is loud and motorsound is too silent - and no possiblity to change that!!! The game has many bugs... I bought it because I liked to play Street Rod long time ago - and I think the people who programmed this game also liked Street Rod - so the game is in many things similar but they coudn't make this atmosphere of the old game...

I did right a review of this game a couple of months ago on the week of release. But you know I think I I might of been too harsh. So here is my new review of the game, if you can even call it that. If you asked me to sum up Motorama in a few short words it would be. S h i t heap of broken physics and gameplay. Well Motorama seemed like a very good game on paper but now that they have made it this game should have been thrown in the bin and set fire too as soon as it was thought up. The games physics are just outright broken and glitched. The other racers have a tendency to just give up and sit the rest of the race out and let you do endless laps because the race never ends. This game was so shit I decided to contacte the devs for a refund but no. They said that they couldn't do that as Steam had taken variosue taxes from it. But these guys couldn't just send me the £12 I spent on this game straight to my visa account. Ahhhhh. Customer satisfaction seems really to be key with these ...
