Speed Devils
Graphics: Great graphics aren't everything but it sure can help a game out, and boy did it ever in Speed Devils.  The detail on all the cars is amazing.  The levels themselves look superb, detailed all the way down to the bay hous's porch and especially on the Louisiana's Tornado track.  So much detail in this game made it great and more fun.

Gameplay: If you have ever played a racing game before, these control will fall instantly comfortable to you.  All you really have to do is press the gas button and go.  Not too much depth there but who needs depth for controls anyway? This racer feels identical to Beetle Adventure Racing (BAR) even down to the alternative routes and secrets that you can find on all the levels

AI: Once again, identical to BAR. Although sometimes you find yourself racing alone especially in the early stages of your championship run, because there are two types of racers, slow ones, and fast ones. Either you are in first, racing yourself, or in the back of the pack racing yourself. Not too much fun. I want a chance to run people off the road or ram them into a building and stuff like that.  But it is fun anyway.

Ingenuity: Just another BAR, or a California Speed right,……wrong. Many, many different modes and objectives. The Vendettas are really cool because when you are in your garage fixing up your car, a person walks up to you and makes a vendetta, in which winner of the bet takes both cars. Now this is not something that you want to do right away, especially if he has a faster car.  But if you think you can do it go for it.  Then afterwards you get his car and can sell your and his to buy a new one. The betting is fun and the excuses they give for loosing the race are funny too.

Fun: This game never gets old. With all the secrets and different bets being offered, how could it?  The game hasn't got a lot of publicity, but it would have to be  one of the top 5 DC games out. BAR never got old, and neither should Speed Devils. Just too many things to be done and all the cars that you have to buy that are super expensive, well at least without the extra money codes which I admit I used. You can just go out in the Nevada dessert and run your car off the hover dam just to see how bad you can mess up your car. Great game!
