Time to get your 3D specs on folks, as this best-selling, rough and tumble race blast hits the budget scene. If you've played this one before, then you certainly won't forget the superb 3D graphics and the totally brilliant instant slo-mo replay option.

In fact, I liked it so much, I used to attempt the worst possible blow outs, just to get it replayed in glorious slow motion!

Included in this epic outing are the two tracks, speed and stunt, both of which are designed to test different driving skills.

If speed is your game, then opt for the first and boot your car up to blistering speeds to beat the fastest lap scores.

For best results, try it in automatic transmission first, to allow you to get a feel for the car, then do the gear changes yourself for some heavy duty action.

If thrills and spills are more your scent, then the Stunt Track is going to blow your mind. The three main Stunts featured, are the Bridge Jump, the Loop-the-Loop and the Bank. Timing is essential on all of these obstacles, as is speed. For example, speeds in excess of 60mph will send you spinning off the track at the bridge, and into a spectacular crash. However, if you are too slow, you won't make it across. You have been warned.

Again, try it first in automatic, then get to the gears for some tight cornering action. Do what you must to save time and avoid traffic ahead to get the high scores. If you do well enough, you may even qualify for a head to head with the awesome computer car, the Phantom Photon.

Crashing means instant disqualification, so you'll have to be very, very good to succeed. However, don't worry too much if you don't, as watching your spin-offs in slow-mo replay can be just as rewarding as winning the laurels. Great graphics, and a belter of a game. Don't miss it.
