Tried playing it through the emulator when I was about 12 years old, couldn't beat the story mode due to some problems with the controls and the game constantly crashing on me for some reason, of course I couldn't figure out why at that time.
But still, even if most of it can be done by button mashing certain cheesy moves, the game is mostly pretty fun.
And dont get me started on the sprites, they are gorgeous. They were also used for the Sonic RPG flash games, which were a HUGE part of my childhood.

My parents bought me this when I was a kid.

Honestly, not that great of a game, but not too bad as well.
It has some fun mechanics, like breaking walls with nitrous or totaling your opponents with it, but its nothing new.

Although it has a level editor, which does make the game a bit less repetitive, but the online's dead anyway.
