Editorial Review

Rollcage somehow manages to inject new life into a tired old game genre with glistening, spunky graphics, outrageous power-ups, and indestructible cars that bounce, but don't break. The game gets its name from the cars that suspend a slim-lined cockpit between four wheels that look to be borrowed from a monster truck. The result? Players can flip the cars completely over and continue driving, unscathed.

Rollcage's disregard for normal laws of physics means players can drive up rounded tunnel walls, scaling the ceiling at speeds well over 300 mph. But this game is no walk in the park. The uniquely adept computer opponents can quickly usurp your lead, sending you from first place to last. This phenomenon is due mostly to the clever power-ups in the game that are designed to thwart the competition. A time warp token cuts the engine power of your competitors' cars in half, effectively reducing their speed while maintaining yours. The leader missile, when fired, seeks out the current first-place car and explodes on impact, while the wormhole power-up engulfs the car in front of yours with a glowing ring of light and transports it behind your car in a high-tech version of leapfrog.

Music from techno artists Fatboy Slim, Pascal, and Freestyles adds a bit of fun. All the pieces of Rollcage fit together snugly to form a stylish, blistering fast racing game with enough strategy and surprise to keep you playing into the wee hours. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Breathtaking graphics with flying sparks and spectacular wrecks
• Excellent soundtrack keeps the pace super-fast

Cons:

• Yet another racing game for the PlayStation
• Strong artificial intelligence (AI) makes racers unusually tough to beat

This is a fast-paced, addictive, futuristic racing game in which you control a car that can be flipped, tossed, rolled, spun, and thrusted through a variety of tracks. You pick from a selection of cars that can be flipped upside down and still continue racing, this tremendously adds to the excitement of the game. Though the controlling can only be called frustrating at some points as your car spins and flips out of control, the music will blow you away. The game's creators took some of the most awesome tunes from blockbuster groups such as Fatboy Slim and EZ Rollers to create a truly incredible racing experience. Definitely worth the small price tag.

This is the best racing game ever for playstation. It is kind of like Wipeout, only allot better. This game goes at incredibly fast speeds. There are 20 tracks to choose from. I just bought this game, and it is awesome. You can flip, you can turn, you can shoot missles, and a lot more. The 2 player modes is also awesome. BUY THIS GAME!

I straight up love this game. I rented it a while back and bought it on sale last week. I'd forgotten how fun it is. It does take some getting used to, but the gameplay itself is immensely entertaining. The part I love most is the various boosts you can pick up, which isn't included in many other games. They allow you to slow your opponent down or speed yourself up. The tracks are also cool, all antigravity of course, so you can drive on the ceilings and when you come back down, your car will never flip. So if you like racing and have the $ to spare, buy this game.
