Battle Cross is an intense racing game published by Imagineer.
The goal of the game is to take a small futuristic air bikes and to go around one
of the various race tracks. Unsurprisingly, players actually race each other to see
who makes it to the finish line first. To spice up the formula, power-ups and weapons
are available for the taking throughout the game. These weapons dramatically change how
the game is played altogether - the laser is unlimited and can stun other racers
for a short amount of time, homing missiles fly around the track until they hit
an unfortunate racer, invincibility gets the player to knock out anyone in its path,
land mines, nitro speed boosts and so forth... A little fairy flies around
each track and can relieve a player gone bad. Various hazards are also scattered around
each track, from puddles to speed bumps, pinball bumpers and even cannonballs ! The game
also features a battle mode where up to five players can race each other up and a
solo story mode.

Battle Cross is one of those Japanese games I praise, an unknown title
that really needs to come out of its relative obscurity. Here you have it, a game
that only a handful of people worldwide have probably even seen outside of Japan.
But, who knows, it really could have been a huge party game back in the days. Perhaps
the best way to describe Battle Cross is to say that it is a top-down racing
game accentuated with Bomberman flavors. If there is a criticism to be lobbed
at Battle Cross, it's that it feels more like a party game than a title players
are going to sit around and play in solo. But all in all, Battle Cross is pretty
unique and the multi-player mode is a blast. A cool addition to your Super Famicom collection.
