Sensational simulation, but overlooks the game aspects...

The Good
The setting itself already makes for a great racing game. Like the company itself states, it was a time when driving skills really made the difference, not the machine. It's challenging, hyper-realistic, and also a very enjoyable. The graphics are a beauty (3Dfx, that is) and the sound is awsome. High production values in this one.

The Bad
The graphics require an incredible computer to run properly, and without one you'll be stuck with blocky graphics or slide-show races. Also, the hyper-realism would scare away the casual or novice player (this game is hard), which is a shame because it could have attracted many nostalgic non-gamers. And don't even think about trying it without a good steering wheel, because no ordinary joystick or keyboard can make the cut in this one.

The Bottom Line
An incredible racing game, but only recommended to the hardcore players.
