A classic game
This game is from the time in playstation history where the system was young and often spat out gems like this one.
The good:
addictive gameplay, crazed fastpaced gameplay, nice graphics (for early playstation)
The bad
Horrible graphics (for ps2) Gameplay might seem too hectic, story is shallow with shallow characters, like many games of it's time t uses full motion video for cut scenes.
However I suggust that you at least look into this game from Single Trac the now dead makers of Twisted Metal and Jet Moto.
