Fun racing shooter

The game plays relatively smoothly with no stutters on my laptop. Gameplay is hectic especially when most enemies appear from behind you so the weapons you choose really can make a difference. I like the game and will continue to play it.

Very fun "CAR WARS" game if you are old enough to have played the excellent Steve Jackson game. The Bosses can be a bit frustrating until you figure out their weaknesses.

The best side-scrolling car battler!
Verified purchase
I don't really like side-scrolling arcade games but this is the exception. So easy to get into and easy to play but with a lot of depth. This is the most well done and professionally code game of this type. Has that "just one more play" thing going for it!
