RC Revenge (also known as Re-Volt 2) is a racing game released for the PlayStation in 2000, developed by Acclaim Entertainment, and is the sequel to Re-Volt. It is set in 5 different movie worlds (Horror World, Planet Adventure, Jungle World, AKLM Studios and Monster World) in which the player races remote controlled cars across many varied tracks.
The game was also ported to the PlayStation 2 as RC Revenge Pro, featuring updated graphics, running at a higher resolution and retaining all of the vehicles, tracks and features of the original.
There are four games modes in RC Revenge: championship mode, single race, time trial, and multiplayer race. RC Revenge has boat and race car effects and an options mode where the player can see the credits, track records, adjust music and sound volumes, brightness, and more.
In Track Editor, players can build their own track and save it on to a PS1 memory card. After that, they can test their skills against a friend or a computer. By pressing random, the player can try out other courses besides player-created tracks. With P2 (second player), one can only go up to 4 RC cars, while Player 1 Has up to 8 or 4 RC cars. There is a limited amount of track pieces that can be used to make a track. The player can also change backgrounds and the music. Tracks can be redesigned and made into a whole new track. Tracks can also be saved and played with other people.
There are eleven different weapons available to the racers, which are picked up and chosen "randomly" when a racer drives through a floating blue icon. There are 4 new weapons in the game. The rest return from Re-Volt.
Each RC car in RC Revenge has a boat equivalent. While some races contain just cars, and some races contain just boats, a few races contain warp gates that transform cars into boats and vice versa. From a jungle cruiser to a regular RC car, there are between 9 and 15 Vehicles that are unlocked when first starting RC Revenge.
Acclaim was originally going to name this game Re-Volt 2, but they changed the name to RC Revenge in the last minute. The original name is still used for the Memory Card block when the game is saved onto the Memory Card.
RC Revenge received mixed reviews, but were better than the Playstation version of Re-Volt.
