    This is a suprisingly good grand theft auto style driving game. I picked it up for 8 bucks at sams club after reading a few reviews for it. It does have horrible graphics but the gameplay makes up for it and its humor is actually pretty amusing. Well worth 8 bucks anyday (but hey, they could have sold me a coaster for 8 bucks and it still would have been a good deal, assuming it was a This is a suprisingly good grand theft auto style driving game.

    Rockstar could easily sell this game for full price, and it would still be well worth buying. [June 2002, p.120]
