One of the best arcade racing games of the 2000s. Awesome soundtrack, fun handling, Crash Mode and a lot of variety in the locations that still feel significantly unique nearly 20 years later.

There are some minor flaws like the boring color selection on most of the cars, the sometimes-annoying camera angle in the impact mode and the traffic in Europe and Asia could use a bit more variety since the game uses American-style cab-over trucks in these regions.

But other than that, it’s pretty much a perfect game at what it’s trying to do.
