I'm not really into racing games but I really like this one for a few reasons the main reason being the ability to attack other racers. I'll get into that later though. <BR><BR>The cool thing about the racing is that you can really interact with the environment. You can be going really fast and then get a nice jump off of a cow (yes, a cow) or a bush or something. You can also wipe out though. Fortunately, that's really fun too. My favorite way of wiping out is running into an oncoming car. <BR><BR>But wiping out isn't always fun. Sometimes you need to knock other people into a car. That's where this game is different from other racing games. You can attack the other racers with a chain, club, fist, or you can kick them into something. They can hit you too though, so you have to be careful, especially when there's obstacles up ahead...and there is a lot of obstacles.<BR><BR>Like most racing games, there's several modes of play. There's solo mode (standard "career mode" type thing where you win races for money to buy new bikes), take turns, split screen, and mano a mano. Mano a mano is the best of the multiplayer modes, in my opinion. Each racer picks any bike and a weapon and then you race.<BR><BR>Game Play: 9<BR>Very fun racing game all on it's own and the ability to attack other racers only makes it better.<BR><BR>Graphics: 7<BR>Pretty standard and can be shitty at parts.<BR><BR>Sound: 9<BR>Very good music in this game. It's got some catchy tunes and they really fit the game.<BR><BR>Originality: 7<BR>The ability to attack the other racers is kinda new, so it gets a point for that. Also, I've never played a game that makes crashing into stuff so fun.<BR><BR>Overall: 9<BR>Great game that everyone should at least try.
