I picked this game up 'cause when I was playing Destruction Derby I thought it needed guns, so this game was recommended.

Overall, after the reviews here have said it's so good, i guess i got my expectations up too high and was let down when I started playing.

First off tho, some reviewers said the graphics where no good. The graphics are great. What you need to do is have an expansion pack in the 64. And then during game-play, press start to enter your paused menu, then turn the resolution to high, and it will change from the almost 2Dish graphics to proper 3D graphics, Or,  even more recommended by me, go to the password screen and enter "Max_Resolution" as the code. Press OK and then follow the same steps as before, but you'll get an option after "High-Res" that says "MAX" and the graphics are suburb for a 64 game! I don't know why they would put that option in the start menu after a code input tho, it should just be on the main screen options, so many people have probably missed it.

(note: I actually had to turn the graphics up higher for some reason when I played with the default graphics, it would freeze on a black screen at the end of the the first race, but it worked fine when they where turned up!)

So there are areas/stages you drive through collecting different icons with guns, rockets, bombs etc... however it is annoying that there are secret moves. For instance, you press up, up, down, Z with one kind of power-up thing and you do a secret heat-seeker missile or something... I dunno why they made it like that because...
A) the booklet doesn't reveal the hidden moves or finishing esk moves. Nor do they tell you how to do it during gameplay (start menu option)
B) using the arrow pad to execute the moves means you have to stop steering with the analog stick to execute it.
C) the moves button sequences like that are for fighting games Capcom and Acclaim make, not for a game where its unnecessary.

Like I said, I got too excited over it and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. it's probably better on 2 player, but half the time I don't know what i'm collecting, the thing should say what it is you pick up in writing to know which of the coded moves it is.

Check into various websites for codes, there is plenty of codes for invincibility and more tracks, cars, and even a space ship to fly (but it doesn't fly up or down, it guides itself, you just choose left or right which is a bummer, guess i'm too used to Rouge Squadrons controls) The game needs a different style of course too, I dunno what, but open areas all the time gets pretty boring.

The games ok, but it's not as good as some hype it up to be. It's not better then any other car game, it's just different. It needed some turbo or nitro boosts in it. There is an after burner but it's coded, but it needed to be a one button press, not a 5 button combination coded move.
