Rating:
Graphics-9
The graphics are very smooth and colorful with a rad digitized background. The scaling is lightning fast and totally smooth.

Sound/music-9
Lots of voice, good fx and some pretty Rockin' music.

Control-9
Easy. It'll take a while to get the hang of it, but that's the case in almost evey game...

Power-9
Blazing speed at 60-frames a second. Tons of large on and off track sprites. The hills produce a roller coaster like effect, also excellent texture mapping.

Fun factor-10
This game hauls "A", and I love every minute of it. Alarge variety of things to do and tracks to race...it'll keep ya tuned in for a long time..

Overall-93%
