This game is a really run arcade style game which I found myself playing for hours. Although fun to race, I found myself exploring the tracks looking for secret powerups and challenging myself to get to places I had never gotten previously. On one of the tracks I must have spend countless hours just driving up a half pipe for god knows what reason, I think it might have been for a powerup that was in a secret passage.
Anyway this game was one of the greats from when 3D Graphics first came into play.

Anyway this game was one of the greats from when 3D Graphics first came into play. It has brought back memories of when myself and other mates use to hold lan parties at each others house and play this game from the early hours
of the evening to the early hours of the next morning, polluting our bodies with nothing less than about 2 large pizzas each and about a case of no name cola. Gone are those days now, but this game I believe has really brought about in my mind what gaming is all about.
I think the only downside to this game is possibly the length of some of the tracks and the lack of ability to go offroad is some spots. If they had increased the size of some of the tracks we would find ourselves even more addicted to this game than I already was. Since I need to get to 400 words in this thing I am going to blabber a little bit more about this game I just bear with me while I do just that.
Powerslide incorporates drifting and beefed up cars in the style of mad max and each and every car that you drive in here must contain a V8 coz the engine noises are pretty good for an arcade style game (lets not compare it to the top of the range games from EA or any of those but you get what I mean, the sounds are pretty good) and definitely won me over in my earlier years of playing.
I am now 23 and I firmly believe that if I had not played this game, then I quite possibly may be dead now. Some of my other games I played from about that time include Forsaken, Half Life, Counter Strike, GP 500, and yet out of all of these I think that between this and forsaken, we have got some of the most fun fictional games ever released. I wouldn't hesitate to go out and buy this game again, should it be available in todays market.
