    It's missing the original game's great controls and sense of speed, rendering all that other good stuff a wasted effort. [Sept 2003, p.80]
  2. At the end of the day this isn't a matter of graphics whorishness, it's just that the GBA can't do the game justice. Underneath it all you can feel the spirit of the game struggling to get out.
  3. Game Informer

    Everything else, from collision detection to control to having only three different cars as traffic, adds up to this game biting the big one. [May 2003, p.94]

    Just simply on the jittery, crunchy, slow, and empty side.
  5. Cheat Code Central
    40
    Does not even come close to capturing the fun, speed and total recklessness of the original.
  6. When developers start stripping away essentials because the hardware cannot handle the strain, you must question the reasoning behind it. Was it really worth subjecting a world of gamers to this mess that barely resembles the original for the sake of a quick fare?

    The whole thing is so choppy, it's almost impossible to play... A total mess. [May 2003, p.41]
