I wouldn't call the game shit, but you sure as hell don't want to buy it at full price either. This was a game you'd only ever get out of a pre-owned or clearance bin if you found it that way. Even in 2003, this game just didn't have the content to be worth the price. Nine tracks and not even any Grand Prix? On top of that, the machines are a little TOO wacky in design, so playing with friends becomes less about anyone's racing skills and more about who made the less/more retarded choice in machine (and if some fucker knows how to use the Swerve Star, nothing else is competing with that.) It really is carried exclusively by the one extra mode. (Top Ride is also fun, but barely lasts ten minutes before you're done with it.)
