A licensed game based on Porsche's 'new' (at the time) model

The Good
While being a fan of the Sony PlayStation and liking the console that much, I liked the tracks, but not all of them though, and the only car you use is a Boxster, but the only difference is the colour and the driver. But, I pretty much liked the "interactive" tracks idea, patterns change every lap. While some are confusing to navigate, and others easy, you'd better think twice learning the tracks before that. The graphics are quite good for a PS1 game that aged well in my opinion. On the other hand, sound is the best part. I liked the music as much as the vehicle sounds, so the music is the best part by far.

The Bad
There isn't a map, so the radar which has colour-coded dots is really weird. There's only one car you drive and that's bad. Why not the 911 series? It coulda been a lot better. The controls are the worst part that kills it for me. Pressing the up button on the D-pad honks your horn. So why it's there? Or even L1? It's so confusing what button does.

The Bottom Line
A rather decent PS1 title, but if you want a better racer, you should probably get Need for Speed on the same console.
