DESCRIPTION

Strap yourself in and get ready to race some of the fastest sports cars in the world! Automobili Lamborghini offers eight sports cars to choose from (six are hidden), including Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche models, as you race on one of six courses. Whether you choose to race as a Novice or an Expert, you can participate in Time Trial, Practice, Arcade, and Championship modes.

Practice is just you and the track as you learn the different twists and turns forming each course, while Time Trial has you trying to improve your best lap times and course records. The one-player game involves competing against five computer drivers in either the Arcade or Championship mode. Arcade mode involves racing each track in an attempt to finish first. Players begin this mode with 45 seconds on the clock and must cross multiple checkpoints within the time limit. If time should expire before reaching the checkpoint, the game is over.

Championship mode is a season composed of multiple races, with each race earning you points depending on how well you finish. The winner of the event is the driver with the most points overall. These races can also involve optional pit stops, which come into play whenever your car needs fuel or new tires, although it should be noted that cars do not experience damage in the game. By finishing both the Arcade and Championship modes on both difficulty levels, players will be allowed to access additional cars.

Automobili Lamborghini also lets you customize the following areas: number of laps, control sensitivity (analog or semi-analog), and the number of races comprising a circuit. You can also challenge three friends simultaneously or race against a second player along with two computer opponents. Championship progress, lap times, and course records can all be saved to a Controller Pak with seven pages free. If you have a Rumble Pak, you'll be able to feel a jolt every time you bump another car or skid against a guardrail! ~ Brad Cook, All Game Guide
