Spent years playing this, recently acquired a PS2 disk, at PS2, its less buggy, due to the 30FPS limit. Graphics are nice for the time it was released, it was also the first fully 3D rendered game of the series. Levels and physics can be annoying sometimes, but once you learn its tricks , they are no match for you (I made a guide, it will help you beat the game with ease). Gameplay is solid and simple, win races. Use your brain to defend yourself and survive. I like it alot. However, unless your a real fan of the series, you shouldnt buy this one, as it isnt as good as the first ones.
