    The total package. It's not some pared-down version of game that appeared on a next-generation console... There's tons of content and diversity in the addictive gameplay.

    Extremely underrated game. Game looks a little dated, but it's a lot of fun. You can customize your car and you race around looking for parts. Mix RPG elements with Battlebots and you've got Car Battler Joe.… Expand
