The Last Emperor (1987)
1987 | Biography, Drama, History

"Once again, how lives can tremendously overturn one’s life and, you know, go from the sacred to the profane, the black to white. We as human beings are really merely passengers who think we have control over the vehicle we’re driving but… In terms of grandeur — powerful, you know, the ability to really reach down and really grab your entire essence and move you — I think that The Last Emperor was truly a masterpiece in every way."

Groundbreaking Driving game
I've been playing video games for a long time, since the spectrum before moving on to the Megadrive. I love driving games and can honestly say this is probably the best and most fun I've played to date! Not since PGR2 has a driving game been this groundbreaking.


You can sense the PGR2 influence in the realism of the environments and cars and some game modes. Along with a similar skill system. The weather effects are amazing from Fog, rain, clouds along with the times of day including dawn, sunset, night time create so many looks and experiences. You'll pull over to stop and watch a sunset. Every car looks and sounds as it should right down to the interior drivers view. It's a beautiful looking game.
The game itself has tons of variety. You can just cruise around, challenge a rival to a set route, random 1 on 1 races in Free roam. There are exhibitions and championships, you can create your own as well and fully customise the weather and time of day, car class and types of cars. There are bucket list challenges that can be done for times, skills, drifts, jumps, speed etc. Again fully customisable to create your own. There is something for everyone here and it's just so much fun.
The only minor points are the auction system for selling, buying could be better but you don't really need to use it. The other issue when racing others online your place is overall is decided partly on your skills during the race. This does include being quick and clean racing... but you might find slower drivers who drift a lot get more xp and end up ahead of you on the leaderboard even if you beat them in the race.
Overall though the best driving game to date. Roll on Horizon 4 in October.

Lorry-driving sim sounds like a joke, but then you try it just to see what it's like. 130 hours later you find yourself managing half-a-dozen garages across Europe with two or three times as many drivers working for you, while you simultaneously worry about getting a load of cement from Birmingham to Dusseldorf on time. The combination of driving, business management, and strategy/RP really does exert a peculiar attraction.

A big time sink, obviously, but not quite as easy as it sounds: the trucks are not easy to control on some of the roads, and every time you ding your rig or some idiot drives into the back of you it costs you money and can reduce your profit. Much of the time you can still relax and enjoy the beautifully rendered environment of the game - countries really do look different, although famous landmarks are a bit thin on the ground. Possibly not where the kids are at, but still a weirdly relaxing and absorbing experience.
