This game is tough as nails. I love it dearly and hate it with a passion.

The cars are rendered full 3d,while the tracks are all FMV. You can, and should, use all weapons you can get your hands on to win.

Lance Boyle, the host in the game, is lovably ridiculous and his assistent is there to be ditzy. But this game will make you hate the video when you lose.

Taking a quick look at Megarace 1, this clearly looks like an improvement. 3D modelled cars are better than the sprites of the original. The tracks are more elaborate with better details and scenery.

It just depends on how it plays. Just that part of history where CD-ROM technology came in and everything had to include video clips! It was the future man!

The really bad games where the ones claiming to be interactive movies!
