Review Scott_6464 4/5 · Aug 28, 2016

PROS

* Fun arcade-styled action

* Excellent graphics for the time

CONS

* Driving mechanics/physics can be annoying

* Some frustrating missions

* No multiplayer


"I expected a straight, serious racer that put emphasis on carnage. What I got was a wacky, arcade-styled, mission-based action car game that I found both thoroughly enjoyable and occasionally frustrating as hell, in equal measures"
