Played this one for many many hours. Like a lot of Amiga games it's the music that has stayed with me through the years. Woo-woo-woo-woo!

Recently played this on the arcade with the steering wheel and the gas pedal. I had an absolute blast! Badlands was very easy to pick up and play. What a joy it was to race the increasingly difficult tracks! In comparison, the graphics on the Amiga version look like a port from the Atari ST: They are too dark and disappointingly colorless. Steering your car doesn't work nearly as well as in the arcade. The way the CPU cars suddenly speed up after lagging behind is unfair. Not a terrible port, but not a great one either.

It's OK for challenging your friends in, but I'd recommend to go for the Super Cars games or Indy Heat instead.

A good racing game that benefits from its relative simplicity. Easy to get into, but tough to beat.

Average or just above average in every respect. Not as good as many similar Amiga originals, but a good game all the same, and great for fans of the coin-op.

Not bad this one - one screen racing à la Supercars.

OK overhead-racing, though it gets really hard after you get far enough. But why to even speak about this when we have Super Cars?

Quite good action racer. But not as good as SUPER CARS

Marvelous game! I was a expert at this. Came really far, got a lot of upgrades. Never wasted money on rockets or shields, mind you
But eventualy, the other cpu controlled cars suddenly developed a warp drive and started light speed racing. It bacame damn near *impossible* to beat them. It drove me f..king crazy

Very enjoyable racer, both in single and two player modes. Does what it says it will, and does it solidly.

Super Sprint with WEAPONS, and not before time! Great gameplay very attractive AMIGA Conversion, 2 player mode...and a good range of varied levels, loved to be honest the SUPER SPRINT Style of games and the Amiga Version of BADLANDS is one of the best! 84/100 For Mine.

These kinds of games are a winner with me every time. It's been like that since I played Stock Car on C64 in the mid 80's. Badlands are one of my favourites in this genre.

Good conversion of a fun take on super-sprint that many a 20p was pumped into at the Wimbledon Odeon.

I liked this game, it had some fun elements in it and to be quite honest for the time it came out, it was worthy of a winner. Gfx are nothing to shout about, sound is OK but gameplay is massive

It's kind of weird with Badlands - It's not original and there are better examples of this 'Super Sprint' style - However it's still strangely addictive. Of course, if you are not used to this type of game, the controls will seem weird, but it doesn't take too long to sort it out.
Give it a try and see what you think - You might find yourself being drawn into it...

Like a grey sunday. Its what you make of it, but good at its best.
