An enjoyable game, but one that doesn't get much play at my house anymore. The crashes are giggle-inducing and the racing is easy but fun. The arcade-style cheating by those behind the leader is miserable and really hurts the gameplay because only the last lap is of any consequence. Also, what's the point of the trick system? Going into the free ride and ripping off tricks is kind of fun, but there's not much point, other than the solid graphics. Close to great due to the easy-to-pick-up controls and fun racing, but could have been better.
