Easy to learn, hard to master. Better feeling than in Wipeout etc. In my opinion even better than in Rollcage Stage II. One of the fastest racing game. Less amount of powerups, doesn't mean it's not sufficient. Nice tracks with hidden shortcuts and destructive elements which make usage of unique shape of cars (they can continue the ride upside down). I also love additional modes with fights on arenas (unfortunately it is available only in multiplayer mode). Simply game of my life. I would love to see it on gog.
Between this and Wipeout on PS1, the soundtracks were absolute bangers. I played the demo for this game to death. The spiritual successor to this game, GRIP, is ok but just can't compete with the real deal. ROLLCAGE
Everybody remembers Wipeout as the Psygnosis racer, but this was their number two and it was a strong one. Honestly, I prefer it to Wipeout. It's not only faster, but it's not as slippery. There's nothing like shooting down a tube at 500mph after a well-timed double boost. Environmental destruction is amazing, too -- there's lots of fun to be had in shooting a missile at a building's support structures and bringing the whole thing down on top of your opponents.
So many memories with this game...so many evenings spent rolling.
Awesome soundtrack, slick and fast tracks and destructible environment.
I really hope GOG bring this title back!
Classic Psygnosis game that deserves to be archived, it also still holds up as a particularly unique idea. Cars that keep going even after they're flipped, distinct characters as racers... and a banging soundtrack. Get it GOG!
