Beware any reviewer that 'remembers when', or includes a lengthy anecdote from their childhood. If you've never played these games before, then skip them here. There a waste of time and money. The most lauded aspect of these games are the cutscenes, of which there are numerous and lengthy. All of them amount to a cheesy host giving hokey setups to the story and levels. They really aren't funny. Look them up on YouTube if don't believe me. As for the actual 'game' part of the game, it's even more boring. Both of these games are cookie-cutter combat racers with exactly zero frills or features. The tracks are pre-rendered, which may have looked nice once upon a time, but now take away any sense of speed or movement as they scroll by the same way, every single lap. The combat is just as bland- line up your missiles and landmines and hope you don't run out before the level is over, 'cause you won't get a refill. I'm not just complaining that this game doesn't hold up to today's standards, because you could pull out your Super Nintendo, Genesis, PlayStation, or any other system of the era and find tons of still-fun combat racers, such as the Road Rash franchise, Skitchin', Rock 'N Roll Racing, or heck, play Mario Kart. Any of them. Stay away from this one. Spend your cash on a fast food combo or something.
