Tech/Engineering - Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / Off road racing game | | German term or phrase: arcadelastig | Auch die Farphysik lässt sich sehen. Zwar ist diese nicht so realistisch wie etwa in Richard Burns Rally, macht aber trotzdem einiges her, da es XXXX gelungen ist die perfekte Balance zwischen* Aracdlastigem* Spassrennen und anspruchsvoller Rennsimulation zu finden.
I believe this is a typo and it should read "arcadelastigem", but what would be a good translation for this? |

| Arcadlastig far too reminiscent of an arcade game
Explanation:
'redolent of' might not be readily understood
'Heavy on the arcade side'

The clue lies in the contrast with the later 'anspruchsvoll'. Arcade games are not.
'Corny arcade-style game'?
