Gameplay

The progression feels rewarding without being grindy, and every upgrade feels like it makes a difference.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gritty art style and unrelenting pace make it a product of its time—but in the best way.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a great mix of skill-based racing and unhinged vehicular combat, and even decades later, it’s a blast to play.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just multiple difficulty levels, though I had enough fun to want to play it again.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The engine sounds are kinda decent, weapon shot sounds are not good, the voice acting is way too cheesy for a 90's game developed in Finland, but the music is very decent to hear, the cutscenes are well made, but they didn't age well after its release, the hard (Petrol in my veins) difficulty is yet hard one to achieve 1st position from faster opponents.
