I certainly enjoy the art of making crazy money! Even though I'm not very good at it here's a shopping list of things I truly love about this game.
- The fact that it took me forever to master the Bowling training, but once I did I was the goddamn tops.
- My attempt to be the zen master of the initial drift bonus. You know when you pick up your first passenger and power down the hill, hitting the jumps faster than anything, only to go for the maddest drift, and hopefully having your car stuck at a sideways tilt for an infinite amount of time? Well I worked my way up. To a 10x bonus, then to a 13x bonus, then to a 17x bonus, then to a 22x bonus, then the next time...a glitch. Or maybe just mad skills. A 63x bonus. I was totally in shock...but I could never reach 20x again.
- Then there's the little things. Driving the pedal cart, and sucking horribly at it, but still having fun. The amusing way the censors seemed to miss the Offspring song, and the game still got away with a Teen rating. Taking people to get greasy chicken at KFC. Priests telling me I'm "One hell of a driver".
This is some
wonderful insanity as far as
video games go. It's one of those great old
games everybody has a story about.
