How it feels

A high-speed, chaotic tunnel-racer with a pumping electronic soundtrack and constant alien insectoid enemies.

What players say

Players are split on this port of the PSX classic. Nostalgia is strong, but multiple reviews report that saving progress and loading save states are broken, making it feel like an arcade game that forgets your score. Some say the controls and performance are smoother than a 2015 version, but others call it an unforgivably poor emulated release.
