    Its particular brand of physics and car mechanics are tedious, annoying, challenging, and out-of-control, and most folks will feel that they'll need to return this if they were silly enough to buy it in the first place.

    Vanishing Point suffers from fatal conceptual flaws. Complete reliance on unlockable features, limited choices of starting vehicles and tracks, and staggered opponent start times have taken what could have been a good game and ruined it.

    An overlooked racing game, that sadly never got a sequel. Even better than the Gran Turismo games for PS1, which are phenomenal. Overall rating: 8.1.
