9/10

Parking Garage Rally Circuit knows exactly what it is: a tight racing game that feels like a victory lap of the arcade racers that inspired it. The controls are perfect. The visuals are somehow of its time yet timeless. And when everything clicks together this is a phenomenal racing game for both experts and newcomers alike. It would’ve been nice to play together with friends online, but I suppose their ghosts will have to do.

Despite its brevity, Parking Garage Rally Circuit packs a huge punch. It’s not just its perfectly emulated retro aesthetic or its near-flawless execution of its central concept, either.

It's basically an okay game, at least if you look at its graphics, music and presentation. The graphics are actually incredibly charming and reflect the era very well. The music is also one of the game's big pluses (one of the few, unfortunately) and the tuneful ska tones are genuinely pleasant to listen to. The presentation is simple but accurate and could easily have been found in a game from the nineties. But then I don't have much else positive to say. For a short while I have fun, when for once things go well for me. If it had continued like that without me being brutally punished time an...
