You don't have to. I still play it. It's important to note that the guys who handled the physics forgot to finish what they were doing.

Glad you read the interview I posted.

NC: We wanted VP to be different, so we sat and thought about what we didn't like about other racers and see if we could address these problems.

A working physics engine was on the list of things they didn't like about other racers?

Been playing around with the car tuning options and managed to get the handling a lot closer to arcade style.

Nice! What tuning did you use? I tend to stiffen everything up.

I guess crashing is still a little unforgivable?

It's interesting how the game dynamically generates the goal/target time based on which car and tuning you choose?

Yes, springs and dampers are stiffened as well as 100% on anti-body roll. Conversely tires are hardened allowing for more skid.

I think my review score of 6/10 still stands. Simulation-style physics do not mix with arcade style courses.

Yes, the mix is a bit odd and really increases the difficulty. But I like the hardness factor.

Really though, Stunt Mode is my favourite part of the game.

This game nice.

Wow, I've always wanted to see other people's opinions on this gem. I got it many years ago, afters first finding out about the movie, then stumbling into the fact that my dad was a big fan of it. We watched it together, then tried to play the game, but he lacks the skill to actually guide the car with the joystick. We still had a lot of fun over a seemingly bland little game.

Surprising. The game has nothing to do with the movie of the same name.
