A game that gets progressively better with each chapter imo. At first I wasn't quite sold out on it, modifying the car was intimidating, the random encounters on the map seemed annoying and loading time even more. But then you start to get it and look forward for more chances of getting better parts. Even the loading times sometimes work in favor of the game as it pulls some of the most stylish loading screens of the ps1.

And then there's the writing... It's hard to explain, it takes its racing aesthetic very seriously and is even poetic at times, but can be also very funny, its the kind of thing you could only see in a game of this era I guess. By the end I really feel in love with its characters and unique style. And the surreality of its main plot also works in its favor in my opinion.
