Far from perfect, but lots of fun
One of those games that I would curse half the time while playing, but still enjoy them in the end. Main reason for cursing is that half of the mechanics are not explained anywhere, but some fan guides and forums. But those mechanics are also some of the most enjoyable parts of the game.

One of the most obvious examples - shutting down your engine to avoid homing missiles. But also the damage system is excellent and annoying at the same time. It's cool that your brakes could be damaged by a blast, but not cool trying to finish mission without brakes. Especially when you need to make a jump in your car. And there are quite a lot of jumps. Somebody apparently thought it to be a good idea.
Then there's the challenge of playing the game on modern systems. GOG version is broken, you won't be able to finish some missions with it. There's a patch lying on GitHub (sic!), but it will cause crashes after every mission (sic!). The funny part is that I even have Windows 98 to play old games, but this game specifically requires Windows 95.
