Genesis version

Too much yet good.

The Good
The graphics were stunning, clearly the SVP made its job and allowed Mega Drive to exit the market in style. Polygonal graphics do look better in Sega than in Nintendo. Nintendo's Super FX may have given less pixelated results and therefore graphically superior. But Sega's VR for the Mega Drive clearly makes better use of the big S reply to Nintendo, the already mentioned SVP. The game runs smoothly for what the Mega Drive was capable of.

The Bad
Even though the company excelled itself with this title, we're talking 1994 here and therefore, the machine was squeezed through its limit, which therefore makes its years to be felt, rendering the game at a less fast-paced rhythm than what I am used to when it comes to racing games from Sega. Therefore, the bad point would be a lack of speed sensation.

The Bottom Line
Last, but not least, do not know who was the genius, however, that decided to sell this cartridge at $100, keeping in mind that the salaries back then were not like they are now.
