    Unless you are actually ON the track, this is as good as it gets when it comes to a racing.
  2. The engine sounds of these oddly shaped cars is almost perfect.
  3. The action is short, intense, and punctuated by time spent studying track conditions and tuning your car.
  4. Offers the best "bang for the buck" of any current racing title. [Apr 2001, p.73]
  5. With various enthralling single-player modes and a smooth online play option, if this isn't one of the best racing games we've played this year, it sure is one of the most fun.
  6. It has all the features and tweaks of games costing twice as much, a terrific physics engine, and a thoroughly enjoyable career mode that is sure to keep you busy for quite some time.
  7. A fun little racing game that has a lot going for it, though nothing sticks out as being overly great.

    The micro-managing car freak will love toying with their virtual sprint cars. For the rest of us, however, driving around a dirt track may get old quick.
  9. This budget-priced stand-alone follow-up completely reinvigorates the original game by adding four new car types, 20 racetracks, and a host of updated graphics and gameplay mechanics.
  10. I suggest you get some chew and have some shine, then have a seat at your computer and throw up some dirt.
  11. In the end this product will satisfy only fans absolutely desperate for driving in the dirt.
