A racing game for a cheap, arcade style thrill

The Good
Fun, arcade style racing game, great tracks, great layout, and I really enjoy the obstacles setup on each track. Graphics are quite nice and even to this day they still look good.

The Bad
Music isn't very good, sound effects are mediocre, controls have some flaws, especially with steering. If you are using a controller it would probably the be worst to use. Some of the tracks are a bit too long for a racing game as well.

The Bottom Line
Fun, action packed, arcade style racing game, with 7 tracks throughout America, and Mexico, you get to choose between 9 different cars, and 3 different game modes (Arcade, Championship, and Multiplayer). Each race you are up against 5 opponents and you try to bump, bang, and speed your way to the top spot.
