This is a great title which I used to play a lot when I was younger, and picking it up today I'm glad to say it's still a lot of fun. Make no mistake, while the word 'trick' might be in the title, the main focus of the game is racing. You speed across various futuristic race tracks in the UK, USA and Japan, which are all connected by a hub level in which you may take on various challenges in order to learn new tricks. The tracks themselves are fun to navigate and offer some diverging paths and shortcuts you can take to get the drop on your competition. Visually the game still looks pretty damn good. The color pallet is rich, the environments are varied and interesting and the overall presentation stood the test of time fairly well. The animations especially look very fluid. The only real drawback is the game's length. Aside from the handful of challenges in the hub section there are only 15 tracks, including boss levels Each track takes around 2-3 minutes to complete. You must finish first to move on to the next level, but the competition isn't terribly stiff so most races can be beaten after two or three tries. If you're into oldschool racers you are in for a treat!
