Speed Devils sports three gameplay modes: arcade, championship, and multiplayer. While the multiplayer mode lets you take on a friend in several different challenges and races, the meat of the gameplay is in the championship mode. The goal here is to progress through several driving classes. Each race nets you prize money, augmented by any side bets or special missions you've agreed to perform. Use the money to buy a better car or improve the one you've got; all the upgrades help you win more races, which moves you farther up the ranks and closer to your eventual goal of taking down the mysterious Driver X.

With wild tracks and gameplay that radiates with personality, Speed Devils is an expansive and delightful racer. --Sajed Ahmed

Pros:

• Weather effects during racing, including rain, snow, fog, and even seasonal changes
• 2-player versus mode lets you take on a friend in split-screen racing action
• The deep championship mode will keep you busy for a long time
• Realistic reflections on the cars and refined texturing around the tracks

• If you're into driving realism, the wacky cars and tracks may not appeal
• At times, cars can seem detached from the driving surface
