I have been waiting for this game since in was announced around the GBA's launch. I personally only purchased it online today, but I'm wondering whether any of you have it? How is it?

You actually paid money for it? Oh man, that's a travesty. The game is simply awful.




Actually, wait.... I never played it. I just felt like being an ass. Sorry.

Tried it out. It really isn't very good. What was originally looking like a shining technical moment for the GBA is now just an average mode 7 racer.

If you want an impressive 3D GBA game, get the Hot Wheels Stunt Track game or Lego Drome Racers. They are like Virtua Racing on a handheld. Flat shaded goodness.

Nothing like Diddy Kong Racing anymore, then?

According to www.rarewitchproject.com , it is a good game for fans of DKR. IGN (not the most reliable site, but still...) gave it a decent review--8.0 out of 10.

I bought it awhile ago, fun game, worth the money IMO, expect a review up on N-Philes.com from me shortly.

Similar to the DKR flight sections in control only. The backgrounds are flat as can be, and it isn't a good thing considering the fact that you have Y axis movement. I am definitely not a graphics whore either. The whole thing just feels irrelevant. Even at $20 it is rather lame. Either of the FZero games are much better.
