Gameplay
editPlayers can race using motorcycles or waterscooters. Six racers can be controlled by the human player.[2] Places visited in the game include the Appalachian Mountains, San Francisco's elaborate streets, and Arizona's flat wasteland deserts.[6]
An unusual aspect of the game was that the player has the choice between playing the game with music only, or sound effects only. It is not possible to play the game with both at the same time.[citation needed]
Reception
editIn their review, GamePro described Full Throttle: All-American Racing as a thoroughly average racer, with derivative gameplay and so-so controls, graphics, music, and sound effects.[7]
