    Where the game really shines in my opinion is the control. I don’t think I’ve ever played a Game Boy Advance game that handles as well as this one.

    The gameplay from the original has been given a significant shot in the arm. It's a great GBA racer, absolutely.

    The ability to quickly save your progress and not have to deal with lengthy and cryptic passwords, though, is an immeasurable improvement over the first game.

    The inclusion of a battery save feature makes this game infinitely more enjoyable, however, and the twofold increase in car selection isn't too shabby either.

    The gameplay and handling are where this game excels. It handles like a dream and there are a multitude of courses, cars and game modes.

    It's a feature-packed winner with great graphics. [Mar 2003, p.137]

    Improves in mostly all aspects of the original but the game is aging and better series are emerging to compete with MTO and THQ’s.

    It's good, and the only game in which I've been able to drive an RX-8 (my favorite!) but the graphics aren't all that good, It's good, and the only game in which I've been able to drive an RX-8 (my favorite!) but the graphics aren't all that good, and it can't really be taken seriously with track names like "Dump Line" (gross!) and "Plastic Bomb" or "Doco Moco"(what?) Still, the controls work well enough.… Full Review »
