    Wow what a great game. It was the best game I had, but my friend stole it. I'm going to buy another copy, it's that good.

    "Granpa, tell me a story about racing games!" "Sure! The point in a racing game is to race fast and beat the opponents that race against you, sonny!" "Well...i've got this game called Pulse Racer, and you can't drive fast since you'll die if you drive like...well fast..." "goodnes Gracious!! A racing game without speed!! That won't work" And so they talked and talked "Granpa, tell me a story about racing games!" "Sure! The point in a racing game is to race fast and beat the opponents that race against you, sonny!" "Well...i've got this game called Pulse Racer, and you can't drive fast since you'll die if you drive like...well fast..." "goodnes Gracious!! A racing game without speed!! That won't work" And so they talked and talked about this abysmal racing game, though neither of them knew much of games..:" THE END!!!! (ps. if you didn't get the picture, this game is abysmal XD ) … Expand

    this game will make you want to set your self on fire. this game isnt worth the cd its printed on. all of the tracks are the same and you die if you drive faster than an old lady. this is the worst game of all time.

    Hmmm, may I have one excuse for throwing all your pitiful anger at the game's publisher... if you weren't fools, you wouldn't have fallen to such a lame game... A piece of advice: "read reviews before you move your fat butts towards the nearest game seller !!!"

    This game is horrible. I hate this game. Who could come up with the abysmal idea of a racing game where you can't go fast without dying. It is a terrible idea which resulted in a terrible idea. This game is an abysmal load of crap.

    i love this game, this game is probably the best game on xbox...ever. its better than halo, halo 2, TC: SCCT, Riddick, i loved the graphics, and the gameplay was amazing, not to mention the storyline.

    The only explanation to this game is that is was constructed as a joke. But am i going to pay for a quick laugh? And by pay i dont mean money for that is out of the question. What i was implying was seconds of my life. And the answer is no.

    In metascore I would give this a 36 cause this game is bad and the gameplay is trash and storyline is horrible. The controls are very mediocre. The graphics are good.

    Simply put this is the worst game we’ve seen on the Xbox. Before you even touch the controller you have to endure the pathetic excuse for graphics. The textures are about as bland as you can get, the visual effects are comparative to the Game Boy Advance and the vehicle models do anything but inspire.

    This is the worst Xbox game available, in every category, from graphics through gameplay. [Feb 2003, p.75]
