****************************************************************************

Opening Side Remarks: I love car combats. I rented this game to see if it is
worth buying. This game was released for PSX a long time ago. But now it is
polished and has the most kick ass scenario ever, Dreamland 64.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: This is the best car combat game on N64. (this is the 
only one released yet!) The weapons are great. The speed is very realistic.
HUGE scenarios and great AI. Too bad the special weapons are very strong. 
Too strong.

Liked: Everything.

Hated: The special weapons are too strong.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The cars are very sharp, but the scenario needs a little
work. The explosions are very realistic.

Liked: Expansion Pak is here!

Hated: Scenarios need a little more work. Seems somehow a little cranky

****************************************************************************

Sound Description:This has the most kick ass SFX and music I've seen in a 
long time. The only time you hear a voice is when you select you character.

Liked: Kick ass!

Hated: Nothing
****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: Every character has 4 different missions, which is
a lot if you consider there is 12 characters or something. The multiplayer
is very cool.

Liked: Multiplayer rocks.

Hated: A little hard...

****************************************************************************

Improve: A bit more of everything

RIYL: Beetle Battle (From Beetle adventure Racing) Twisted Metal series...

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I've heard they are making a sequel to it, And it is expected to
the end of 1999, so if you can wait, get the sequel...

****************************************************************************

Currently Know codes: You shouldn't cheat you know? It's hazardous for your
mental health. Ah who cares? Go to sages.ign.com/index2.html and you'll 
find some.

****************************************************************************

Best Scene (BigBadBar reviews exclusive): The commercial was hilarious. But
inside the game, it has to be the jumping scene on Hoover Dam, or the 
difficulty setting, which was pretty weird
