Motor Psycho is a racing game that's exclusive to the Atari 7800.
+ Fans of Pole Position (1982, Arcade) will find enjoyment thanks to the familiar gameplay premise and scoring system.+ Four race tracks are well designed and the impressive draw distance allows you to see long stretches of upcoming road.
+ Ability to jump crazy heights offers risk-reward, as you accumulate more points in the air than on the ground.
+ Controls are excellent, particularly when downshifting on tight corners, and you can even customise how your bike turns.
- Frame-rate is shaky in areas with lots of bikers, which isn't great in a precision-based racer where every move matters.
- Takes an age to return to the road after a crash, and the awful intro music sounds like a toddler's first song.
- Graphics do little to impress, with colour clashing and sparsely detailed scenery that create a drab backdrop.
