The graphics on this game are actually quite interesting. They include weird "2.5" dimensional slips with exaggerated cell shadings. This causes every course to look like a lunar eclipse is taking place. This can be very confusing and unnerving, considering you can't even see the course! The backgrounds are pretty good, at least the sky isn't black on EVERY SINGLE course. Oh wait, yes it is. However, the rain and snow are actually quite detailed. The vehicles look pretty good despite looking strangely off. Don't ask me what looks wrong with them, something just seems messed up. The profile selection lack some diversity, and would be better if there were more people to choose from when creating your character.

The main sound for this game comes from the music player. This is what got the "mild lyrics" into the games rating. Some of the songs are pretty much junk that I cannot bear to listen to. None of them are anything I would ever dream of listening to over anything I listen to today. At least it lets you choose which of it's evil songs to hear. You can also adjust the sound effects. get free download bits and such things like that. Overall the music is fairly BLAH for me, due to a poor selection and "unique" background musics. It is made more interesting (not better, but interesting) with "commentary" whenever my character hits something and dies, which is about every 10 seconds. The special effects settings are just a way to make it seem as if you have control over what you hear. I listen to my own music while playing this game.

The gameplay is pretty fair, except how they made the vehicles hard to control to fit their "style". This was not very smart for Acclaim to do, unless they wanted a single vehicle or two to have drastic pros and cons. However, that is not the case here. The vehicles will eject you if you hit anything when you are going over 20 MPH, which is exceedingly annoying. The aerial tricks involve pressing a stupid combination of buttons simultaneously and hoping it doesn't wipe you out. Again resulting in death. The tricks are labeled "Combat Moves" to try to get you to become interested with the game. What a joke! They involve kicking in a certain direction for a small range. They also last little time, except for the really high leveled ones, where it takes so long you hit the ground and die. If there's anyone near that region it will miss. Guaranteed. This really degrades away from their big promotion of "16 awesome combat moves in your arsenal". Getting points will refill a boost meter, but guess what? If you die that meter will drain by half of it's full capacity. When you begin to boost you will nearly almost crash immediately upon doing so because of the uncontrollable speed and the fact that you cannot touch anything, therefore losing your boost! Sound helpful? It isn't helpful in the slightest way imaginable. Take my word for that.
