The control system in the game is unusual at first, but after a few races, you feel completely in command. Before long, you�ll be using combinations of boost and jump, to make turbo starts, and also to power slide around corners. The karts are surprisingly agile, mainly due to the fact that they all hover above the ground (they are mostly space ships of some kind), which allows some breath taking manoeuvres through treacherous canyons, crowded palaces, and even out of control asteroids. As well as traditional racing modes, (including championships of varying length) there are arena battles, which are won by the surviving character. It is this mode that really utilises the weapons to their full extent. Using rockets, seekers, power drains, special weapons and much more, each contestant becomes a deadly force, making the fight for survival a real challenge.

The main problem with it all really is that it feels like a collection of good ideas, rather than a game that has really been put through the full development process. Track designs are nice, and as I mentioned above, have decent short cuts, but they sometimes just don't flow the same way a course would in say Gran Turismo or Wipeout. Occasionally you'll be heading for a sharp corner, and have no indication of its existence until you are past the turning and planted in the barriers. There are also problems when you fall off certain ledges, when rather than sending you back to where you fell off (which would be annoying even then) you sometimes get sent back to earlier parts of the level if you happen to land on a piece of track already visited (a frequent problem when you have a track that crosses over itself).
