I was a big fan of the Top Gear racers on SNES. They were very fun, and top shelf for their era. I appreciated, but didn't really get into the Top Gear Rally games on N64, because they tried to go in a more realistic direction, when I've always been a bigger fan of "arcade" style racing.
But with Overdrive, they had a surprise sleeper hit, which to me feels more in line with the OG SNES releases. It's a fairly fast, smooth racer, with good graphics, good controls, and the one thing that really made it stand out (on N64 at least), was that it had REAL music. The generic metal it features isn't GREAT, by any means. But it was remarkable at the time, that an N64 game had REAL rock/metal tracks to race to.
Overall, this is a very solid racer, and one of the better ones on a system that had a wealth of good racers.
