To start off, I want to let you know this is my first Re-Volt custom track. I am totally open to improvements, suggestions, tips, criticism (please be kind), etc... This track was built with 2 goals in mind. The first was to make the race itself challenging. I wanted to race my favorite cars Avus, Alien, Rage and Cat 2000 on a track that would challenge me. Hopefully it will challenge you too. Second, I like to laugh, so I tried to incorporate things that made me laugh. I hope they make you laugh also.
FOR THE BEST RESULTS

I have tweaked the track to the best of my ability and tested it using the cars: Avus, Alien, Rage, Cat 2000 and Toyeca with the following results:

Test Results

Using Avus & Alien cars, 80% of the time, I was able to take 1st place being 100+ meters ahead of the 2nd place car. But, in all fairness the Avus & Alien cars are very fast and unbeatable on any track (except Re-Ville ). I have tried them on all the original Re-Volt tracks and have taken 1st place with at least 300+ meters to spare.

Cat 2000 in my opinion is a very good all around car, it has a nice balance in all areas. It beats the pants off any of the original Re-Volt cars. With this car, it is a challenge to get 1st place in "Looney Land". My average was 2nd & 3rd place, with an occasional 1st place.

Using the Toyeca car which is standard in within the Re-Volt game, I had a very hard time getting 1st place. Most of the time I would place 3rd.

I HIGHLY recommend installing the following cars in order to get the most challenge / fun using this track:
  • Avus by RiffRaff
  • Alien by RiffRaff
  • Cat 2000 by Antimorph
  • Ivan-Benz Short-Wheel by Ivan Mandel
  • PT Cruiser by RiffRaff-Nairb
  • Rage by RiffRaff
  • SCORCHER by phantomx
  • Toysupra by BurnRubr
  • Viper GTS by Robin
  • Viper GTSR by Major Clod

To get these cars visit: RHQ - Re-Volt Headquarters
NOTE: There are hundreds of card out there. The cars I have listed above are just the cars I have tried out and liked.

INSTALL, UNINSTALL, ETC...


INSTALL
  1. Extract the Looney.zip file into your Re-Volt root directory. It should have created a folder called "Looney_Install".
  2. Now, just double click the install.bat file to install all the necessary files to play "Looney Land".
Have Fun!


NOTE: This install program replaces some of the original Re-Volt wav files.
DON'T PANIC ! All the original wav files are just renamed with an org_ in front of them. Just run the uninstall_wav.bat file to replace the original wav files.
