This game did little in the way of creating an illusion of speed of racing thrills. The presentation of the winding roadways is well done, but the lack of real depth and interaction eliminates much of the intensity that would normally be present. It ends up being a well made, first-person shift-and-avoid adventure that left me cold.

Well, throw away your thoughts of an 8 bit Out Run game. While it has the name, it goes beyond the car racing by throwing in other motor vehicles. Although it doesn't scale exceptionally well, the challenge is nevertheless there. It is probably the best racing game for the Game Gear and definitely worth looking into.
