  • story9 mentions

    The game's story, presented in a mode called "scenario," is generally viewed as short and somewhat disconnected from the gameplay, with cutscenes offering a redeeming quality in a genre that often lacks narrative depth. While some players find the storyline interesting, others criticize it as pointless and not well-integrated with the racing mechanics. Overall, the story is seen as a fun addition, but it doesn't significantly enhance the overall experience.

    • “This is a fun little game with an interesting storyline that doesn't try to be something more than it is.”
    • “The reason the cutscenes could be a redeeming quality is few games in the genre present an actual story behind the races.”
    • “Although the storyline is extremely short and some obvious issues with the game, I'd still recommend it.”
    • “Tracks feel similar; the story is pointless.”
    • “The storyline is extremely short.”
    • “Although the storyline is extremely short and has some obvious issues, I'd still recommend it.”
  • graphics8 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally considered dated, with some users noting that while they were acceptable for their time, they now appear weak and glitchy. Despite a vibrant color palette, performance issues persist, with significant frame rate drops even on capable hardware. Overall, expectations should be tempered, as the visuals do not meet modern standards.

    • “Sure, the game is old, so the graphics are dated, but the color palette is not the worst, as even drab environments will have brighter, neon colors.”
    • “Good graphics for its time and runs at a stable 60fps on my system.”
    • “Let's address the elephant in the room: the graphics and art style.”
    • “The graphics in the game are very weak, while it significantly slows down on strong hardware (15 fps on the GeForce 980 is not at the maximum settings - this is somehow strange).”
    • “Not only does it not even work properly, the visuals also glitch out, with possibly the worst distorted sound ever.”
  • music8 mentions

    The music in the game features a mix of decent tracks, with some standout songs that enhance the experience, particularly the menu music. However, there are instances of repetition and a lack of variety, leading to a mixed reception overall, with some users rating it as low as 4/10.

  • gameplay8 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized as a mix of mediocre and enjoyable elements, with a focus on driving mechanics that can become repetitive quickly. While the arcade-style action offers some competitive fun, particularly as players unlock upgrades, the controls are often described as sluggish and the overall experience is best suited for short play sessions. Despite its age, the game is noted for pioneering the combination of racing and environmental destruction.

    • “The campaign and tournament progression system is a bit rough but the gameplay is competitive and fun, more so when you unlock the faster engine parts.”
    • “Well, in my opinion, this is the game that started the game mechanic where you race and blow up the environments at the same time.”

    • “Controls are sluggish and stiff; gameplay is confusing and disorienting.”
