The game is a fun little arcade racer with simple controls, challenging AI, and an amazing soundtrack.
It runs well on various systems, including low-end laptops, and is compatible with Xbox/PS controllers.
Despite the negative reviews, some players still enjoy the game and appreciate its nostalgic value.

This is not the PC version but a poorly executed PSX port with terrible graphics and control issues.
Many players find the game unplayable due to display problems, framerate drops, and a frustrating control scheme.
The lack of customization options and the inability to play with a keyboard make the experience frustrating for many.
