    With no significant enhancements or additions, this title makes no case for itself on the console. [May 2002, p.87]

    You can drop a few quarters at the local arcade or half a Benjamin for the home version and still beat the game in one sitting. [June 2002, p.120]

    The ride is short and bittersweet. [June 2002, p.77]

    Despite the chaos you can create, everything happens at the same time for the same reasons. There will always be a cop car with its lights on at this corner; that boat will always be there at this time, etc.
  5. GameSpot
    35
    Has virtually no lasting value whatsoever and just isn't much fun to play even as long as it lasts.
  6. IGN
    33
    Makes a good gag gift or gag rental, if there is such a thing.
  7. Media and Games Online Network
    30
    A very simple and boring arcade racing game which falls short in almost every area possible.
