There isn't even enough time to hunt for cool powerups either. You just have to run the race or exclusively hunt down cars and kill them for more time. The game runs pretty smooth overall although not that well with my graphics card. I am going to update the video driver to see if that helps. Some surfaces are strange off the track and you can't seem to get any traction at all so you have to recover.
Graphics are as good as any game out there that has been recently released.
Soundtrack sucks, but you can disable it. The engine noises could be a lot better too. It adds so much more to each patr of the series. The car choice in TDR 2000 is far larger than any of the games. You are now able to drive offroaders monster trucks and bathtubs.
