Such a waste...
the platform sections are boring , running around a small world going to find gates leading to the racing portions of the game , there is usually minimal challenge in finding the gates as its just working your way through a somewhat linear level. - go in , pick up fruit , find gate , proceed to racing bit.
Then we get to the racing levels , usually a very basic track which you drive around throwing items at other players , the 'merging' system seems cool at first however it leads to lack of challenge , you can merge with another car and then the computer AI will simply plow round the track and the game takes on the appearance of an 'on rails' shooter , where you control the turrent and shoot down anything and everything. then you reach the end of the track , the AI splits from you pushing you behind , computer takes gold and you take silver. meaning you have to go through the same damn level and shoot cars for another 5 minutes or so. how fun. NOT.
get enough golds and you get to unlock the next level , whoop de frickin doo. another linear level and 3 more on rails shooting levels.
There are other modes besides racing as well though , unfortunately , they all suck as well. theres a time attack mode , shoot targets mode , ram into objects mode and one or two others that are probably rubbish as well.
All in all.. a slow boring game with repetitive music and gameplay.
i would prefferred playing through a remake of crash bandicoot 2 tbh.
oh , and the framerate is kinda poorish unless you overclock to 333mhz.
