After stealing the money (a scene represented by your character walking into the bank and then walking out of the bank) our young robber ditches the taxi and jumps into a sports car that I can only assume was sitting there waiting for him.
OK, so if there was a car there already, why steal the taxi? I mean, is this guy such a prick that he can’t just spend a little cash on a train ticket, or something? Or better yet, if he’s already been there to arrange the sports car, why not just stay there instead of travelling 150 miles to some other town? This probably explains why he works alone – not because he’s a tough loner incapable of trusting others, but because none of the other robbers are willing to put up with his stupid ass.
So now the Mafia are after you, for reasons that are never fully explained, and they’re chasing you in cars armed with ballistic missiles. Strangely, the numerous police cars that you pass on this endless highway show not one ounce of interest in the Mad Max road war taking place before them. I know the police can be apathetic at the best of times, but surely they’re going to respond to the cluster bombs pockmarking the highway?
Fortunately you’re not just a sitting duck. Someone was kind enough to leave missiles all over the road, which you can pick up and use against the numerous Mafiosi. But you can only shoot in one direction, straight up, and that’s a real pain in the ass if the enemy is on the other side of the screen. At moments like that your only hope is to drive by as quickly as possible and hope you don’t get hit. You don’t find any other weapons that might make destroying the other cars easier, so it’s a case of hoping for the best, and that rarely gets you anywhere.
For a game boasting only three levels Road Hunter GT is surprisingly difficult to beat. Like anything else it just takes a little practice, but why would you want to spend your time beating a game so ugly and plodding? There are a hundred games just like it, and most of them are far superior to this. Throw this one on the scrapheap and forget it even existed.
