Even though the game goes faster in the lower resolution, its a much better racing experinece to play it in full screen mode. However if the graphics aren't important to you, and you need the taste of speed, run the game in its windowed 320x240 mode. I'm sure it looks better with a 3D accelerator card, but the point is made that graphics are not the most important thing in this game. The manual even suggests lowering the graphics level for beginners in order to achieve a better rate of animation. I'm sure beginners will lower the graphics level even without reading the manual, as the road will be easier to see.
Sound effects offer no surprises here.
The roar of the engines offer no realism, and definitely sound like a computer simulated truck. After the latest Ferrari engine sounds of other games, a real racing simulator fan will find these to be lacking. Taken on its on, Soda Off-Road Racing might pass for an OK racing simulation, but there are too many flaws for it to be truly great. The background music, although ok for its time, is definitely out of date. At times, it seemed I could interpret this strange radio voice differently when it was suppossedly saying the same things.
