Review by Notlim

"My favorite racing game for the Dream Cast."

I played the demo of this game a while ago, and I found the game to be very fun, but after a while I forgot about it, until a friend of mine got this game, and he told me how great it was so then I decided to get it. Almost a year since I got the game and I still play it. This is definitely one of the best racing games for the DreamCast.

Graphics 8/10
Most of the tracks look great, exept some that are too dark like in the Museum and Toytanic 2, which are so dark you can barely see anything. Besides from that, the cars look great and the tracks are colorful and look very realistic.

Gameplay 8/10
There are a lot of different tracks, some are long and some are short, and you can race in tracks such as Supermarkets or Rooftops, and its very fun. You can also use weapons such as Fireworks or Water Bombs to throw at other cars to slow them down. There are also tons of different cars, some are easy to control but some are hard, some are for begginners and some are for experts.

Control 8/10
Like I said, different cars have different controls, some are very fast but don\'t weight a lot making it very hard to control, but others aren\'t so fast but weight a lot, so they are better for those sharp turns, but they\'re slow. There are many different cars in the game and the harder ones to unlock are faster and some are easier to control.

Audio/Video 9/10
The sounds are great, the cars sound like remote control cars, and the effects when you throw Water Bombs, or the Shockwave sound almost like in real life. The music is also great, but there aren\'t a lot of different songs in the game.

Replayability 10/10
There is the Track Editor, Championship mode, Time Trial, Practice, Single Race and Stunt Arena. There is also Multiplayer which is very fun. This game will last you ages if you like to make tracks and then play them. After you finish the game you will probably spend most of the time on Track Editor. You can also even unlock the tracks in reverse, mirrored, and reversed and mirrored! Each track also has a hidden star that you can collect in Practice mode.

Difficulty 7/10
Championship isn\'t so hard, but some tracks in Time Trial are hard, and getting some stars hidden in the tracks is hard too. But nothing too hard. Even though it isn\'t too hard, it is still very fun.

Overall 10/10
This game is great and will last you a long time. The game is only $10, so if you don\'t have this game and like racing games, get it. I don\'t like giving 10\'s to games often, but this game deserves it.
