The value story
Across all 67 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 80 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

The game is similiar to the Micro Machines games, but with less level types. The time trials are frustrating as sometimes the game does not count the crossing of the goal line, and you have to go another round before you can even try to beat the time again. The AI cars are too easy. TL;DR: The game has better graphics but is less fun than Micro Machines.
