 Delightful kart-racing madness! February 20, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let me start off by saying that this is one of the best kart racing games for PS1 ever made. The characters are creative, each with their own personality, (although their physical features don't vary much). And you gotta love soarin' down the track at 200 mph. Not to mention the arsenal of weapons and traps. And perhaps the best feature of the game, the shortcuts! There is a shortcut in all but one track! (After all, the motto IS "Whatever it takes to win"). Plus, hidden bonus characters to keep the player interested. The only down-side of this game is that sometimes it can seem far too difficult. For example, the final boss race, which I, myself, haven't beaten yet.

I'm new to playstation and this was a great starter game. I can't stop playing. There are 6 racers to choose from, my favorite so far is Monica, and then several different courses. You can do a single track or a tournament and much more. I highly recommend this game to new users. It would probably be too simple of a game to those who are more familar with the system though. If you liked Nintendo's Mario Kart, you'll love Speed Punks.
Exellent, but Way Too Difficult April 30, 2002

Speed Punks is great, but it is too hard. The turns are too, especially in the hard level. Also, in the hard level the last 2 races, Grand Rapids and Sunset Isle they are almost impossible to win. The easy and medium levels are okay but the track designs in the hard level are outrageously stupid. Everything else is great. I really like it when you can challenge the bonus characters in order to be able to use them. They are Cosworth, the dog of Monty, Tetsuo, the Japanese guy and Beemer, the robot racer of Brains. There are 6 mode where you can race. They are tournament, single race, time attack, vs., multiplayer and bonus.

This game is the most fun game I have ever played on the Playstation. Even my 5 year daughter can play. We love shooting each other with the weapons. It is really fun when you play with the multitap. I really love it and would like to see more racing games like this come out in the future.
Great game, though difficult July 22, 2001

Speed Punks is a good game. It beats CTR on so many levels. Let me explain. The graphics are better, weapons more important, shortcuts and level design play a crucial part in the difference of first or last place. It's just more fun. I beat CTR 100% and it was fun, but that doesn't disguise the fact that it was too easy, and the difficulty wasn't an enjoyable challenge. Speed Punks is different. The difficulty is VERY HIGH. If you are not willing to spend a reasonable amount of time losing and getting up and trying again, then this game is not for you. However, if you enjoy a challenge, this game delivers. You'll find yourself coming back for more, time and time again.
