    An incredibly fun little title, which has a superb Aussie style, a killer soundtrack, and above all some really fun gameplay! I really like trying out runs with each of the weapons and seeing how quickly I can get the the grand prix on certain runs! Highly recommend for anyone looking to show some love to a small hidden gem of a title!
