Still the best top-down arcade racer. Fun selection of cars, great design of curcuits with many ways to cut. Low polygon aesthetic, vivid texture work, all make it look good even today. Jungle tracks as background music is a nice touch. And you can always put in your favorite CD of choice and it'll work. Once you beat all 3 difficulty modes and learn each track in and out, the 'mirror mode' shakes things up by...
Classic top-down racing game. I played it a lot as a kid It deserves a remake --- Classico jogo de corrida top-down. joguei muito quando criança merecia um remake
