Tractor Racing Simulation[1], also known as Redneck Racers, is a racing game released for PC. Developed by Silden, it was published by Play Publishing in Europe, Libredia worldwide via Steam, United Independent Entertainment in Germany and Noviy Disk in Russia in 2010-2012.
Why It's No Redneck
- Very poor main menu that looks like something that would appear in a home console game from 2001. Aside from being able to check the garage, where you can both tune and sell or buy a new machine, you can also see the achievements you have earned, because the creators did not feel like making icons.
- The settings are also an epic fail; the graphics settings in the game are limited only to gamma, and the resolution is changed in the window when the title is launched. It should be worth mentioning that the game was released in 2010, not 9 years earlier.
- The vehicles are nearly identical to each other; they all play the same and have the same properites. In fact, their only difference is their design, which could make it look like the developers were adding the vehicles so quickly, they forgot to change their properties.
- Horrible graphics that can be compared to a Dreamcast game released in 2000; the models of the humans look atrocious and look like they almost have no face, nearly a la Slederman, the textures are blurred to the extreme, the landscape is pixelated, the buildings look like they were drawn by a 5-year-old who was more interested in drinking an apple juice instead of drawing, and the special effects are so bad, a monitor would easily break apart.
- Bad controls; the tractors move like soap with cement on ice, and everything moves so laboriously, the tractors are practically glued to the surface.
- False advertising: Retail cover shows a tractor with a roof, but in the game, there are no tractors with it.
- While there are 40 missions, all of them are just repetitive; they range from collecting milk cans, transporting a weak farmer, a duel, a race with several opponents, chasing away birds, or a time trial. All of them are boring because there's almost no challenge and the very simple track layout, making you easily fall asleep during gameplay.
- The A.I. is so horrid that it makes the giant opponents in Super Smash Bros. Melee look very smart in comparison; they usually drive straight at you in a weird snake-like row, block each other, crash into various walls or sometimes launch themselves into the air. Additionally, when you block their path, you would expect them to turn around and drive in a path that's not blocked, but what do they do is just try to drive straight at you, even if the available path is so wide, a total of four opponents can make it without much issue.
- Awful physics; when you drive at a fence, instead of it collapsing, you literally just stop, as if the fence was made out of metal, and sometimes you can be bounced off like a balloon, as if the road was covered in soap or ice, despite the game not even taking place during winter.
- Absolutely embarassing durability; instead of breaking apart or creating a slight scratch on your tractor if you crash into something, your vehicle will still work like normal, even if you crash into an opponent, who is also driving on a tractor.
