Pretty terrible "racing" game. A choice of three supercars and nondescript roads to traverse. Considering you're meant to be travelling at 200mph the car moves like a slug through hot tar. Also hitting top speed means you earn the ire of the police, so you have to keep slowing down. It's not strategic, it's just an awfully implemented idea. There are other things on the road, probably bikes and cars but I've no clue really. This game just wasn't meant for the SNES.
Holland, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Spain all:
Post speed in mph, when posted at all
Drive on the right hand side of the road
Have American police in Crown Vics patrolling the highway
Anyone not driving a sports car drives a VW beetle or a cow truck
Are all at most ten miles long
Honestly, the game makes you convert kph on your speedo to mph in your head on the fly, which is exactly the kind of sicko thing 80's and 90's games did and I have to respect it
