The Good
The graphics and the sounds are so awesome. Makes you feel like your at the track! No better feeling when you hear and feel the pure unadulterated power of a fuel funny car or top fuel dragster fire up! This game make you think your right there!
The Bad
The stability of the applet that runs the online gaming portion of the game lacks the all important TCP/IP player connectivity and must be run off of Moto1.net's server and is no where near stable!
The Bottom Line
Drag Racing at its finest!

The Good
Loved everything about the game. I have been a die hard drag racing fan for years. Glad to see they came out with a game that closely resesembles true life dragracing.
The Bad
1). Different drivers views for racing. ( Should only be one view when racing. From the drivers seat.)
2). The Applet ( The applet was good in the begnning but as more people started to play the game it became worse. The applet doesn't support large amounts of people.) The Applet was a poor choice for this game.
3). Too many cheats need to be fixed in this game. I am sure the programmers know which ones the racer are using to cheat to win.
4). Tuning screen could be alittle bit better. Don't like the sliders.
5). The programmers were on there way to making the best online sim game out there before running into trouble. Hope they can make a go of new game that they were about to release before running into trouble.
The Bottom Line
Great product just needs some work.

The best heads up drag racing game ever!!!!!!
The Good
The gameplay is quite fast and the graphics are way cool compared to other drag racing games out there. It is very challenging to learn how to tune your car for the track conditions, but not so hard you have to be a die hard drag racer to learn.
The Bad
The one dislike I can say is the way online play is handled. It is ran thru a JAVA applet and has many many hangups. I believe if the game were run thru a different type server like Nascar or Need for speed hot pursuit2 is ran, the online play would b much smoother. When the "applet" is working up to par the competition online is wayyyy coool. The online events are absolutely the best. but like i said it doesn't work very good and online events haven't happened for quite some time.
The Bottom Line
If you have any interest in drag racing this is one game you don't want to pass up. For $19.99 it is well worth it. There is nothing better than driving 330 mph!!!!!!!!
