    My favorite childhood racing game and one of the greatest racing games of all time.

    It was such a BIG improvement over the original in    My favorite childhood racing game and one of the greatest racing games of all time.

    It was such a BIG improvement over the original in every way. Here is why...

    -The car models looked way better than the original,
    -the car crash sounds and physics sound and look so much better as well,
    -there were way more cars to unlock,
    -there were so many courses to unlock and race on with different weather effects,
    -the boost mechanic was improved and made more fun,
    -the soundtrack by Stephen Root was perfect,
    -there were new game modes added such as Tutorial mode: to show you how to play the game, Pursuit Mode, Point To Point Races, Face Off Mode (which had more challenge and strategy) and Crash mode which would become a staple to the series.
    -The championship mode was also significantly improved and gave us many tracks and cars to unlock which gave the game so much replay value including the Custom Series championship.
    -I like the cheats you unlock when you beat this game like the first game did.

    This game had so much depth and substance to it.

    It's perfect.    … Full Review »
