Unfortunate for me, this was my second Sega Saturn purchase and actually liked it at first! Well as time passed on I realized how bad this game was. Let me tell you about it so you should know too.
STORY:
There is no story. You just race to beat the time and blow other cars up to survive.
GAMEPLAY:
Well the main feature of the game is the combat part,you drive on a track against other cars to the finish, all while trying to blow each other up. Now it's really hard to blow up the other cars because either your going to fast and passing them or your shots keep going over them, and it doesn't help that they can easily hit your car all the time! Another complaint about the game is the tracks are so narrow, you can not help but hit the walls every time you make a turn. There's also bonus rounds in between stages if you destroy enough cars, you'd think it'll be fun since it is a bonus round. But alas, you do the exact same thing as the normal stages....shoot cars!! You'd want to skip them but you get upgrades to your car which are needed in later stages ,so you HAVE to go through them if you want to beat the game.
GRAPHICS:
Oh boy....now I know the Saturn can't do 3-D very well,but I seen better looking games then this! Everything in the game looks so pale and unoriginal, from the tracks to the cars to the weapons....everything! The tracks range from a city ( woohoo! ), to a snowy forest ( gee golly! ) to space (I never knew space can be so dull looking) to the really pale looking bonus stages ( a freakin tunnel fur crying out loud! ) and other bland stages ( most you have to drive through over in night or reverse stages ).
SOUND & MUSIC:
All the sound effects in the game are so generic sounding, to the car engine, to weapons shooting, to cars exploding. And the music sounds like techno gone bad, nuff said.
REPLAYABILITY:
Not much really, once you beat this game, you'll never want to touch it again. But I'm surprised you want to finish the game.
BUY OR RENT:
Do not buy, do not rent and do not pass go.
OVERALL:
Overall it's a really bland game. I suggest not playing even if it has a cheap price tag, but hey, this is all just my opinion.
Overall Rating: 3/10
