NO! No! No No No: Cruis'n

The second to last level is called "China Town X" - I suppose the X stands fo eXtreme. It is impossible to beat. I have played it over and over probably fifty times. Memorized every single twist and turn in the race. Been in first place in the final 100 feet, only to have three cars overtake me right at the finish line - WHICH IS AN EFFING CLIFF BY THE WAY - to put me in fourth place. I only need a third place finish to move on. But this game refuses to let me continue.

This is the only image of China Town X on the ENTIRE INTERNET! I feel like I'm playing the video game equivalent of the Lock Ness Monster.

Jon Boldiga is the man behind this. The lead developer on Cruis'n. I have reached out to him on LinkedIn. He has some other quality games to his credit, funny how this game isn't listed on his bio...

I will find out why this game is such an astronomical failure straight from the horse's mouth! I will ask him directly if it is actually possible to beat China Town X. I will ask him how he justifies a car doing a backflip. I will know!

In the meantime, I'll review Cruis'n. Full review coming shortly.
