The physics based driving once you get the hang of it is pretty consistent, and it lets tracks get wacky with jumps, ramps, shortcuts, and such. Lots of high contrast textures at relatively fast speeds make learning a new level or running through a familiar one a satisfying visual puzzle. The expansion tracks in particular really push the limits of what the driving gameplay is capable of. Sometimes contact with the other racers can be a little frustrating, but it's also satisfying to hold them off. With a few extension programs you can get the game looking and running great. It's unfortunate that there isn't a way to bundle them together for this release. This is a nostalgic favorite of mine, something I used to play on christmas morning with my cousins before the adults would wake up. I remember getting lost in dead ends and left behind a lot as a kid, but I think it's an acceptable consequence that enables satisfying routing compared to just a straight track or obvious shortcuts. Many of them are hidden or require particular approaches and jumps at tremendous speed.
