Bikini Beach: Stunt Racer

Game review

Bikini Beach: Stunt Racer offers a unique take on the racing genre, blending elements of stunt performance with a lighthearted and somewhat cheeky thematic setting. Set against the backdrop of various tropical paradises, the game invites players into a vibrant world filled with sun, sand, and high-octane dune buggy racing. The primary objective is to captivate the attention of the game's hot mascot babes by executing daring stunts and showcasing driving prowess across exotic locales such as Bali, Rio, and St. Tropez.

Players have the choice between three distinctly characterized male avatars: the surfer jock, emblematic of athleticism and agility; the fat party animal, a figure of unrestrained indulgence; and the drunken lush, whose reckless abandon translates into risky maneuvers. Each character comes equipped with his own dune buggy, setting the stage for a series of stunt-filled escapades aimed at impressing the game's trophy women.

The core gameplay revolves around navigating courses and executing a wide array of stunts, each evaluated for points based on their daring and execution quality. However, mere stunt performance is not enough to win over the affections of the bikini-clad women. Players must also collect seven diamonds scattered throughout each course, adding an element of exploration and strategy to the high-speed antics.

Bikini Beach: Stunt Racer is designed to be accessible and enjoyable, featuring a leisurely practice mode that allows players to hone their skills without the pressure of the ticking clock. This mode provides a relaxed environment for experimenting with stunts, mastering controls, and familiarizing oneself with the courses.

By meeting certain criteria, players can unlock a fourth level, introducing new challenges and opportunities for stunt racing glory. This includes a fourth character—a charismatic Elvis impersonator—adding a quirky twist to the roster of racers. Additionally, players can unlock a fourth bikini babe and a new beach location, Daytona, offering fresh scenery and challenges to conquer. Bikini Beach: Stunt Racer stands out for its unconventional approach to the racing and stunt genre, combining humor, vibrant settings, and engaging gameplay mechanics.
