Bravo Air Race - short and easy plane racing game. Very short and pretty easy. This game has only four tracks, and there isn't even a circuit mode either. Heck, there aren't even any difficulty settings! Choose a plane, choose a track, and go. It shows you the credits once you've finished in first in all four. Bravo Air Race actually is fun, with decent graphics, okay track designs, and decently good handling, but it's only about an hour long, unfortunately. It's too bad; I enjoyed it, for the very short time it lasted. The game does have a sequel, Air Race Championship which does have a circuit mode and more tracks, but it was only released in Japan unfortunately. Apart for the super short length, my other main complaint is that the tracks are very narrow vertically. It's best to not press up or down when you don't have to -- you can't go up very high, and if you fly too high you'll be slowed down. I wish the tracks had more vertical depth, like the tracks do in many other air racing games. But still, it is a fun game, just insanely limited in content.

Astro Rally - while working on the PC racing games reviews I went and finished this also very short but entertaining little game. See that thread for the full review.
