Reception[ | ]
The Windows version of the game received extremely positive scores and rates, due to its incredibly high quality graphics for its time of release. The game has been viewed as one of the greatest racing games of its time. However, the PlayStation version was not very popular and was rated much lower, probably because the PlayStation versio had lower quality graphics than the Windows version (due to system processor and graphics card).
