Pros: Exciting two-player mode, Fun stunt driving and fast racing Cons: The stunt landing can be tricky, and points are often arbitrary The Bottom Line: Buy this game for it's stunts, multiplayer fighting and racing challenge. Recommended: Yes After playing the demo (endlessly)in mid 2000, I went to the store and reserved my copy. That was in September 2000, and I'm still playing this game. The concept is this: It's San Francisco, it's the year 2049, and for some reason I've yet to determine, cars have retractable wings but no airborne propulsion system. There are several ways in which to play this game. The first ...  Read the complete review

Well, with great titles like Mag Force Racing and Ferrari 355 Challenge hanging about, there was no competition! Well, perhaps that's going a bit too far, but where would we all be without racers?

The game doesn't take itself too seriously - in a way it's a cross between Need For speed and 4 Wheel Thunder - the graphics are fine - but there is some noticable glitches - the frame rate doesn't seem to be too great, and the car sounds? Well the engine sounds stupid - not at all realistic, but I guess you could always turn the sound off. I don't know whether this is a Dreamcast exclusive - I hope it's a ported version - as the game really isn't that great. Play it for yourself - for me, there are plenty of better racing games about. Still, it is worth a look - as you may like it. ...  Read the complete review
