Where’s Waldo and the Amazing Race for the computer? Yes please! The Race is a fast paced object spotting scavenger hunt that tests your former skills of I Spy to a competition that’s spans the whole globe. Travel to famous parts of the world finding knick-knacks on your list while racing other teams for the gold trophy. With Mario Kart competition scoring, the race for every cup is not always a disappointment if you come in second.
The Race plays like most point and click hidden object games, but has a factor that can turn the tide of any scavenger hunt. The tool bar to the right of the screen offers hints and power-ups that can slow down the competition or aid in your discovery of more objects.
If you are a gamer that enjoys games that test your eyesight and optical illusions, this game fits. However, the levels can become a tad strenuous and monotonous as you progress throughout the world. This game should be recommended to gamers that are into crossword puzzles or Sudoku because of the set in stone layout of each level. There aren’t many surprises, but new things to find. I give The Race a 2.5 out of 5 stars. You can’t beat Where’s Waldo on a classic book and the Amazing Race fad is just about over.
