The game was played with the traditional digital pad, a dual-shock controller, and an analog wheel. The dual-shock and the wheel provided the best control in the game, although the digital pad was manageable. The dual-shock made good use of the vibration functions. Collisions didn't overwhelm me, as I was expecting a solid jolt from the pad. However, as the damage to my car mounted, a low level of vibration could be felt, which partly redeemed the inadequate collision vibrations.
Menus are easy to work through, and the manual describes everything in the menus.
You couldn't ask for a better manual than what the game comes with. Every course, car, and event is described well. Game options also get their share of descriptions. 95 Demolition has loads of great modes of play. Once the game starts, you have a choice of a single race or the Demolition League.
