Would not call this a successor
This is one of the cases where a 'sequel' has not much to do with the original. Yes, the graphics are a step up, but it still feels lifeless. Yes, there are more cars and different races, BUT the point of the first game was racing with nitro-powered, heavily armed and armored muscle cars. Not happening here - battle races require you to rent a special car for a special racing circuit. What we've got here is a run-of-the-mill arcade racer. Compare it to the Carmageddon series, which came out at the same time and did the 'violent racing' much better. Maybe because it was developed in Germany, which has quite the history with censoring "violent" games... this feels toothless. Again, maybe one for the nostalgics. Everyone else will probably be disappointed.
