Underrated racer makes for some surprising fun.

I've seen a lot of bad press for this game. Sure the speed and proportions of the map are a little off and the graphics may not be up to par....but you know what? I liked this game. I work at a video store and it wasn't renting so my boss offered it for $6 and I took it. My XBOX recently burnt up and I needed some fresh meat for my PS2.

I popped it in and tried out the track editor. This right here is the meat and potatoes of the game, IMO. Once you learn the physics and what does and doesn't work with track designs, you can spend hours on this thing. Only real bad thing is it kinda gets choppy if you have an asston of track laid out...but it's forgivable because it doesn't affect anything when you actually race.

Sure it's a barebones racer. No conceivable story or history into this type of racing within the game's mythology (or lack thereof) but it's a good play.

I couldn't conceive spending over $15 (and that might be stretching it) but as for my paying $6 for it...it was a very well spent $6.

Good for one of those lazy Sundays. Pop in some music and make some whacky tracks. The world is literally yours in this game.

    All in all, this game is, how you say, "What the crap is going on here?"... But when you get to playing it, it kinda grows on you. Of course, you'll notice the cheap effects and bad graphics, but the bad graphics were th... Read Full Review
