Great Game, just finished it.

PRO :
- Cars & Tracks are good mixed and pretty Entertaining
- Music is very good and gives you a felt "Speed-Boost"
- AI is very Challenging at the mid-highend range of the Game
- Good old Splitscreen action
- Perfect for Retrogamers and People who should learn some Patience
- Can be very addictive
- Small Tuningsystem - Huge Effects
- No "Checkpoint-Timer" but you should watch your Gas
- Little Comic-Style Speechbubbles when you get bumped or out of Nitro
- Nice and lovingly detailed Effects and Graphics (Rain, Snow, Sand, Fog)
- Additional Nitrous can (and should) be collected
- Easy to Learn, Hard to Master / Simple (fun) Gameplay
- Small File Size

CONS:
- Sometimes the Tracks are very narrow, and the Road feels overpopulated with 19 Opponents (fixed value)
- AI is pretty Cheesy and uses cheap Tricks, especially when you reach the Top 5 at the Final Lap (can induce hate Towards your Computer)
- The Coins you got to collect are sometimes in bad spots and can slow you down
- No Driftmechanic or use of an e-brake to aid fast cornering
- No Jumps, even with the bumpiest road(s) (Like in Lotus)
- When Tournamentscores are equal like an CPU Opponent, the CPU Opponent will automatically be the winner (Should maybe depending on who's driven the fastest Lap times in the previous tracks)

PS:
Just a hint for beginners : Even Tracks who are appearing easy might be more challenging than you might expect.
Be careful with your NOS.

If The Music gets more childish and playful, the colors are bright and looking like the Teletubbyland.... than my friends...
prepare for Hell... ;P
