I have been playing this game for a while now and I am still in love with this game. I have looked through Gamefaqs here and realized that there are no FAQs and only one review to describe this awesome game. I have decided to write my own review to support high ratings that this game deserves. With the rave of getting newer games with better graphics, I think that we all have forgotten about certain classics. In my opinion, this game is one of the classics that I have in my possession.
Gameplay: You are able to choose from a variety of characters. Each character has a different type of speed, acceleration, and grip (also known as handling the vehicle). Each character has a different type of attack that can mutate your rivals or destroy them. You can choose from the main race, battle mode (where the first one to finish the race or the last one to be destroyed wins), or you can race against one of your friends. While racing, you can earn money which will upgrade your vehicle. You can choose from upgrading your engine for speed, tires for grip and acceleration, armor, or increase the number of shots you have.
Sound: Not much variety of music here but the music that are provided aren't really much of a nuisance. The voices of each character are unique in that the voices don't sound alike. You can here the sound of zapping or popping when someone is hit or their vehicles are destroyed.
Storyline: There is no storyline here. You are in a race where you need to defeat your rivals. This is all action for you action fans. =)
Graphics: Not extremely detailed but the graphics are pleasant enough to enjoy. The colors would set the mood of your race. The brownish color of a certain race will help you become aware that the roads ahead will be bumpy and you should avoid certain areas that would slow you down.
Replay Value: As I have already mentioned, I have been playing this game for a while and I still continue to play it regardless of how old the game is. This is one of my favorite games for the SNES and I believe that it will stay that way. Now don't get frustrated if you lose the first few times. You will soon become familiar with the terrain and you'll be on that road to victory.
Overview: I would suggest those people who haven't played the game at least give this game a try. I think that those who give it a chance won't be disappointed.
