4.0 out of 5 stars A CARTOONY ARCADE RACER 8.5 OUT OF 10, February 17, 2008

Aside from Mario Kart and F-Zero, Top Gear is my most fun racer for my Super Nintendo. I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought this game, I had bought other racing games for my SNES, but this one stood out. It has a great cartoon and arcade-feel to it. The nitrous is fun to use during the already fast gameplay. You compete against a little less than two dozen racers in this game and it's very fast and you always have competition against another racer who acts like a second player via split-screen. You race through numerous cities and countries to earn your way to the top as it is with any other racer. This game is a lot of fun, both single player or multiplayer and should really not be missed by any SNES fan despite grudges against Kemco for future disastrous titles that followed. Oh, and choose your vehicle wisely, because your car can run out of gas during a particularly long race.

This is quite possibly the best racing game on the Super Nintendo

Unlike most Super Nintendo Racing games, when you press left or right, you simply go in that direction. It controls much better than F-Zero or Mario Kart.

The graphics are colorful and they have a lot of charm. Plus, this uses Sprite Scaling instead of Mode 7, so it's a lot easier on your eyes than most Racing games on the Super Nintendo.

The game itself is basically a Lotus Turbo Challenge game (also by Gremlin Graphics) for the Super Nintendo. As a result, most of the music is from the Lotus Turbo Challenge games for the Amiga. A lot of these songs sound EVEN BETTER (Something I thought was impossible)!

Overall, if you want a REALLY good racing game, this is one you should pick up!

I remember getting this game and being hooked back in my SNES halycon days. I recently got a dule NES/SNES system and bought the game again. So how does it stack up in 2011?

The Good:
- It's definitely accessible, there are different difficulty levels, so you're not just going to get owned from the start
- It offered a choice of 4 cars, and this is important on certain tracks, etc.

The Bad:
- There's only 3 songs during the races, obviously this is going to grate on your nerves.
- Even on the easier settings, there is a fair amount of "rubber banding" you're not just going to kill the CPU like on other races, this could be a "good" point in selling the game too.
- Infinite frustration in hitting lapped cars LOL :)

Overall for the price this is a solid purchase for your SNES. Just don't be expecting the same kind of value you get in today's PS3/XBox 360 racing games.
