The battle animations are likewise excellent. Depending on the weapon selected, the attacks are quick or drawn out. Unfortunately the preview game notes came with the caveat that memory cards were not fully implemented yet. As such, I wasn't able to progress through the game as much as I wished. I have only been on a limited number of tracks, but the ones I have raced on had good design.
Tracks range from city to country courses.
One particular track starts with a jumbo jet taking off in the background. Yet another course ends at an air base. Near the end of the course, two Stealth fighters pass overhead. The only problem with some of the tracks are hills which launch you like a rocket at the apex. Motorcycles fly through the air, and the whole effect is somewhat ridiculous.
