Heh... I fished this out of a bargin bin for $5, but my curiosity was not rewarded.
At first it is unclear what you are supposed to do. As a cute little car, you apparently must drive around town and talk to other cars. They usually (and by usually I mean ALWAYS) only say a one-liner that isn't useful.
There are shops to buy auto parts... and actually this part of the game looks kindof cool. There really are a lot of options here. Too bad you'll never tolerate the game long enough to explore some of them.
Head back to your home and schedule a race. The cars are slow and stiff... the antithesis of exciting. After placing in a race, you get money to buy upgrades. No doubt with an upgraded car you could race in some of the more challenging ones.
Other problems? You bet. There is a loading screen whenever you enter ANY house, ANY race or practically any menu. Combined with the slow driving speed and slow text display... this game just takes too long. The graphics are cute and oversimplified, and the menus are borderline ugly. The music isn't bad at first... but once the game starts frustrating you with it's mediocrity you'll lose patience with it.
The Verdict:
This game is awful. Do not play it. This is no obscure Atlas "RPG" that might have a chance of being good. It is a waste of time.
+The box art is kindof neat if you ignore the balloon lettering
+Seems to be a fair amount of car customization

-HARDLY an RPG in terms of characters and story
-Racing is tedious, slow and unexciting
-There is more loading time than playing time... for what I have no idea
-This game sucks
-I have no way of getting my $5 back
