Summary

Enjoyment is overrated, I suppose.

The Good

Hell, I got 5 bucks for it at EBgames!!!

The Bad

Absolutely everything about this game was as pleasent as eternal damnation after a labotomy. The word "fun" must be an abomination to the fools who released this game. All to be found here is a group of nameless, faceless cars even entusiasts such as myself have never heard of. The Viper was all I recognized. I think they're supposed to be hotted-up Corollas, but what the hell is a 'cocette'? I could swear half of these cars are made up. At least "R", the single worst video game in the history of time, had real cars! But seiously. The lousy cars are just the tip of this particular iceberg that sunk the titanic that is my will to live.

These 'cars' present to me what is probably the single worst physics in any video game i have encountered, aside from R's angry bricks. Your 'car' feels like a underpowered hovercraft. You can turn ridiculously easy, unless of course it's a long turn, in which case you slide.

And don't forget this sadistic, nightmarish horror from hell that is the voice acting. Here's a tip, if you're an idiot like I am who bought this game, NEVER talk to Maria! The smell of rotting whale flesh is more pleasent than this bitch's high pithced whiney spoiled-ass-rotten's way of communication! It's about on par with Sonic Heroes acting!!!

And did I mention the game sucks?

The Bottom Line

This is the game that gives racers a bad name. A game that gives GAMES a bad name. This game isn't worth the DVD case it came with. How this ever became a Platinum Hit is nothing more than a sign of the endtimes.
