ok so keep in mind i played this at like 2am while sick from covid and wasnt of sound mind but this is GOTY whatever the year this came out. think i felt pure unadulterated happiness playing this. does it hit as hard now? no but there was a brief moment when i drove into 3 different cars and caused a massive pileup where i saw god and he said good job so. although looking at it now i never got any best times on any of the tracks so i really dont know what i was doing.
