Server is supposedly a bit sporadic, so I'm downloading it with Interarchy and the promise of easy resuming.
If I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say: Lame.
I didn't like it. The graphics are sub-par and definitely look several years old. The sound isn't so great either. The car handling is so-so. There also doesn't seem to be any way to change screen resolution or any other advanced kind of options.

You must not have looked around much. The graphics are beyond shit, but the cars are fully customizable as is the video. I managed to change the res to 640x480 and mess with about 30 other video/graphics options before proceeding to mess with the car (angle tilts of the wings, all manner of things I do not understand.)
It's too bad the graphics suck...and my video card is apparently unsupported though it could easily handle it.
We're talking graphics on par with arcade games 5-6 years ago.
Too bad, those teaser screenshots they released looked WAY better.
I can't believe that this was a 2000 release originally... the graphics look ANCIENT.
Huge let down for what could have been the first "real" racing game on the Mac in a long time.

Yeah, it's pretty sad, the graphics at their highest setting are worse than Driver's graphics at their lowest setting, and Driver is old.
Had such potential...ah well.
All of those car settings... :eek:
Look at the screenshots on MacGamer + IMG for a better representation of the graphics.
decent. Nothing great, but decent.
Sounds still suck though.
Giving a demo worse graphics capability than the actual game sure isn't going to help sell this thing.
What kind of graphics cards are you all using?
