Another classic of the 90s, this game is fun with a friend, at least for a while. The single-player experience, however, is lacking.
I remember when I first played this game in the 90s. I thought it was very good-looking and made great use of the (in)famous Mode 7. I had previously seen it in action in F-Zero but the latter was single-player only. Anyway, I played it at a friend's and we had good fun together. The number of tracks is decent for the time, limited power-ups are fine (the dreaded homing blue shell didn't exist back then) and the handling is very good, which is essential for a game like this. That being said, Street Racer is better in every way in my humble opinion.
Playing this game again literally gave me a headache. That blurry ocean of pixels in the distance, which looks like coloured TV noise, is a challenge for the eyes. But the worst is the cheating AI. In 100cc and above, opponents never hit any walls, drive through obstacles and always catch up when you're too far ahead (rubber band AI). A great example of unfair gameplay.
