    Compared to D2D, "Thunder's" cars don't handle as smoothly and its Career mode is heavy on complexity and short on fun. [Dec 2002, p.194]

    This isn’t "F-Zero" or "Burnout." It is a much richer, deeper racing experience that you’ll appreciate for the accuracy of the physics and game play.

    Great game with an incredible career mode, I especially love how the sponsorship works in the game. If only I could hire a driver later inGreat game with an incredible career mode, I especially love how the sponsorship works in the game.
