This game is just plain fun! I would say this is the best RC computer games ever. It isn't a Simulation, but I'm glad. If you like games like Lego Racers or (for the N64) Mario Kart, this game is for you. You get about 25 cars to choose from, both Electric and Nitro. You have 14 tracks to begin with, and can always make more with the track editor. This game looks magnificent. You rarely see graphics this good. It is out for the Dreamcast, N64, and PSX also, but the graphics for the PSX and N64 are not very good. The sound is good too. You can hear kids yelling in the backyards on the neighborhood track, and the music is really upbeat. It is very fun, a lot like Mario Kart. The lasting appeal is also good, because it has lots of cars and lots of tracks. Plus, the track editor makes an unlimited variety of tracks possible. For the PC, this game is great. One of the things that really makes this game fun is the powerups. You can get firecrackers, water ballons, bombs to name a few. It is really fun to blast a water balloon at an aponant and zoom ahead of him while he's flipped over. Of course, it only stops them for a few seconds and they're back on your tail, but still. If you want an RC simulator, don't get this game. If want a really fun, excellent graphics, crazy racing game, I would definetly recommend you look into this game.

Pros:
Awesome 3D graphics
Awesome lighting effects
Realistic sound
No invisible boundaries
Great AI
Cool weapons

Cons:
None

Objectionable Content:

cool tracks, great graphics, and fun R/C car racing. A sure-fire hit for
any R/C car fan. Edit Track feature is very cool too!"
