Moto Roader is a multi-player futuristic overhead racing game by Masaya where up to five cars
(understand here five players!) can race at once. One of the great originality of the game is
a very unique warping system that shoots slow cars back to the front of the race.
This may sounds unusually weird at first
but it adds a lot to the racing experience, especially during frantic five
players races. Cars are nevertheless warped at a price and this feature
slowly consumes gas. Cars can also be upgraded between each race.
Players get awarded money based on their final placement and shops allow
them to improve various parts of their cars such as engine, brakes, body and also
purchase power-ups like bombs, warps, jumps and so forth... As mentioned at the
beginning of this review, Moto Roader is one of the few games
(with the excellent Bomberman) to feature an up to five
simultaneous players gameplay!

Teaser text for the American version:
Imagine a time in the future when evil has been erased. Life's tasks are
handled by machines. What will kids do to heat things up ? Here's what ! They'll all be MOTO ROADERS.
Man and machine come together in a race of speed, skill, luck, power and strategy.
Race up to four other drivers. Eight heats per race. Make sure you spend prize money
on killer parts and weapons - not on weird shades and fuzzy dice !

Moto Roader is a great game and the multi-player mode adds a lot to
the overall experience. Power-ups also make the game incredibly fun and satisfying.
The car's handling is excellent too with the possibility to slide and
cut corners at full speed. This is what is excellent about this game, the first
few plays are quite boring and slow to be honest, but if you get the hang of it then you will
certainly love it. The game looks dated compared to today's 3D graphics, but
the gameplay is solid and still makes it totally enjoyable, a bit like how Super Mario Kart
for the Super Famicom is still so fun to play even to this day. Moto Roader is also a great party game,
feature sadly missing from a lot of modern games
and current-gen systems (Nintendo's Wii managed to revive it to some degree though).
All in all, Moto Roader is an excellent and fun racing game that
fans of the genre shouldn't miss!
