This is yet another Kixx re-release of an obscure (i.e. I've never seen it) Capcom coin-op (see also Bionic Commando and Street Fighter reviews) and, if I can get straight to the point, it's another duffer. LED Storm is a vertically-scrolling race game, not unlike the classic (i.e. incredibly old) arcade machine Burnin' Rubber in several ways. Except it isn't.

What it is is actually a memory-test game, as the screen moves too fast for you to react to anything that comes at you, so your only chance of success is to crash a lot and remember where it happened for the next time you happen to be whizzing past that point in the game.

It also suffers from some very juddery horizontal scrolling and pretty useless music, and as a whole it's simply uninspiring.

You'll get a couple of hours entertainment out of it if you're lucky (and undemanding), but you should really be looking to set your standards rather higher. Not good, not exactly crap, not anything very much.

Spectacularly average driving-game-that-isn't with very little in the way of playability. Eight quid is still too much.
