New Star GP Review
12.03.2024 - 16:37 / thesixthaxis.com / New Star
As F1 continues to ride high on the heady fumes of Drive to Survive, New Star GP is cannily set to draft effortlessly behind it. Bringing a retro-inspired take on the sport that focuses on the same crowd-pleasing action we’ve seen from the studio’s previous sports titles like the stunning Retro Bowl, New Star GP allows players to take their team through multiple decades of Formula 1 racing.
New Star GP is clearly influenced by SEGA’s classic Virtua Racing, and the chunky polygonal visuals have been scrubbed up to a modern sheen with both an eye for detail and the occasional nod and a wink to the crowd. There’s a wry sense of humour, and a clear passion for the sport it’s recreating, as back office staff like accountant Penny Counter and opponents like Niki Laube mean there’s always a smile on your face.
That smile will remain firmly embedded when you take to the circuit, with New Star GP offering its own take on a raft of real-life tracks like Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring, though here tracks appear with alternate names like Northampton and Vienna to avoid any licensing issues.
The single-player campaign sees you start off in the 1980s, with a suitably slower and visually different car to those we see whizzing around on track in the modern day. Each season features 10 grand prix races, but alongside these, there’s practice sessions, time trials and elimination races to put down rubber in as well.
Doing well in each event will earn you currency to spend on upgrading your car, and Star Points which unlock new back-office perks. These perks are all related to different members of your crew, whether it’s your pit chief, chief engineer or accountant, and you have to balance these relationships in order to keep them happy, otherwise they’ll complain to the press and potentially even leave. Perhaps you can succeed where real life figures have not – just make sure to keep the phone calls professional.
Racing in New Star GP is certainly focused on arcade thrills, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t also reward smart driving and tactics. Each race sees you having to weigh up your tyre selection, and the amount of fuel to fill your tank with, as well as planning out your pit strategy. Out on the track you have to keep an eye on your fuel, while you gain a full burst of nitro/DRS with each successive lap where you again need to use tactically.
Races aren’t just won on driving smarts, but also by getting in and out of the pit lane as swiftly as possible, and at the right time. The simple mini-game you have to take part in means it remains both an interactive experience and one which you are responsible for, and you’ll be whooping with delight when it all comes together.
That’s doubly, triply or quadruply true if

MLB The Show 24 Review (PS5) | Push Square
MLB The Show 24 may not be the best-looking sports game on the market anymore, but San Diego Studio continues to lead the field by pushing the boundaries of the genre overall. This year’s release may feel largely familiar when you’re at the plate, but the expansion of narrative-based experiences in the Storylines section demonstrates how the first-party developer is evolving elsewhere.

What We Played #645 – Unicorn Overlord, New Star GP & Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
This week the big question has been just what the hell Warner Bros. have managed to do with the Arkham/Batman franchise after the unsurprising failure of Suicide Squad to revive the series’ fortunes. For the record, Suicide Squad is well worth playing just to experience the storyline and the characters, but as a long-term live-service game it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s clear that live service is no longer the golden goose the industry thought it was, and with more games battling for our multiplayer hours, including a batch of thoroughly great free-to-play titles, the outlook has to change. Hopefully it’s in the player’s interests, rather than in the shareholders’.
