almost really really good
the concept is great. overhead racing with kind of upgradable cars...very cool. unfortunetly the interface is EXTREMELY difficult ot follow. all of the buttons are small and blend in too much, and the cars are TINY. getting the race started took me forever just because of how hard it was to find the buttons and figure out what i was supposed to do.
also, the racing engine is almost unbearable. car-to-car collision makes for some very very hard-to-follow skidding.
if you completely redid (and simplified) the interface, fixed the car physics, and made some less goofy courses (the dirt road one with speed boosters everywhere and a tunnel was just too much), youd' have golden game. i urge you to do this, because i would certainly love to play it.
