Easily the nicest feeling controls on an arcade racing game I've ever played, I prefer them just a little bit over Sega's arcade output like Daytona USA 1/2 and Scud Race. The visuals are amazing, UI is incredibly clean and stylish at the same time. Has one of my favorite game soundtracks too. This game fucks.
One of the best if not the best arcade racers. This was one of the first PS1 games that was recommended to me at a time when I really only knew the console for Crash Bandicoot and Gex. I still come back to it on a pretty regular basis. There's not really any big gimmicks with this game since it's just straight forwards racing but it does that really well with a sick soundtrack to boot.
