 Very good car racing game, easy for kids, good for adults.Jan 01, 2009
By LCowboysFAN
This game is an excellent car racing game, where you can race with not only the Chevy Corvette but also a long list of normal and dream cars from all over the world. The best point in this game is that you can play up to four players, racing against each other, with one cartridge only ! This add a lot of fun into the game especially when you have one or more kids, a lot of fun competing against each others. In this mode you will drive exclusively the Chevy Corvette, but who cares, it makes the game being a lot of fun, the kids want to beat daddy bad, and dad can show them who's the big enchilada and why ! Also, for the gamers who like the Need for Speed series style, you can race against the AI in a championship mode on all the tracks available, after winning and unlocking them, and will have a choice between plenty of standard cars, and also, dream cars from all over the world, some from GM, including The Vette of course, Pontiac GTO, and OPEL, and also, Mercedez, Volkswagen, Japanese ones, you name it. You will have to start with simple cars except the Vette, already available, and then win races in order to unlock new cars, this game is a lot more accessible than the N4Speed mentioned earlier, the driving and handling on the DS is very good, easy to control the car, accelerator, breaks, the controls are very well done, and everybody will have fun with this game, adults, gamers, and kids. A very good racing game right there.
 Played it before.Jan 09, 2011
By Micheal Hunt
There really is no difference between this game and the previously released "Evolution GT". It is by far not the worst racing game on the DS, but it still has the cons and annoyances of the previous game. For a racing game, a gamer will most likely wanna burn rubber and just hold down the accelerator and floor it, this game you have to brake around corners or take your finger off the accelerator. If that's ok with you, you may enjoy this game, but for me, I have played it before, and quite frankly, do not want to spend most of the race doing 60 to 70 mph when top speeds are around 200.
Also something that has not been improved on is the graphics. Even in the last game, it was annoying that the background and track blend in with every other color, you don't get a decent view of the turns until you are right up on it, especially in levels around gray brick walls and things that match the asphalt colors. It's not hard to recover and still win first place, but it was giving me a headache shortly after completing "Rookie level".
The thing that irritates me the most is, the camera angles are still the same. It's one angle behind the car, or if you press select it doesn't move forward, it pretty much just makes the car on screen invisible, so it's hardly even 2 angles. I like it much better when the camera is a little higher above the rear view of the car that is optional in so many other racing games... but not this one. It's really annoying the angle in this game because the car and speedometer stuff takes up most of the screen, and it's annoying trying to see past it, especially when close to other cars.
The game is called "Corvette evolution" yet there is other car models to choose from, so I don't know why they called it "Corvette" instead of "Evolution GT 2" or something.
I have listed the cons now, and now to the positives. The soundtrack is decent for those who enjoy hard rock and metal music. The controls are OK, provided you like to use the brakes a lot and wouldn't prefer a slide or skid/drift technique to get around corners.
EDIT: I just read that this is actually the first of the series, so I take back what I said about this being the second, and say that it was "Evolution GT" that did not improve upon anything from this game. Either way, both these games and Ferrari Evolution are all the same really, just different track layouts and different cars to choose from. This game here does not have much selection to chose from as far as cars go, if you love rally style corvette racers, then unlocking that vehicle may take your fancy, but as I said, having played both "Evolution" & "Ferrari" I can say I got really bored of the repetitiveness and will not be bothering to finish the game completely to be rewarded with zip worth unlocking.
As I said, this is not the worst racing game, but the lack of the feel of the need for speed is just not present in these games, the blurry graphics and car taking up most of the space, just really bring this game down for me to be able to praise it as a recommendation. I'd recommend "Side Swiped" over anything, and then, and not in any order, "dirt 2", "Asphalt Urban 1 or 2", "ridge Racer", "Trackmainia 2 turbo" and even racing of a different kind in "Hot Wheels: Beat That", "Monster Jam 1 to 3" and of coarse "Mario Kart"... but that may just be my opinion.
