As the game that introduced me to the PS2 era, I had to give this game a review. I'll try and cover each section I rated.

For graphics, they're kinda kooky and cartoon-y, but it's entertaining for all ages.

The sound, as far as sound effects, they were decently realistic, but the music is where I keep the score high. Will never get the Push King's The Minute out of my head thanks to this game (not that that's a bad thing of course).

The addictiveness to me, well this game is highly addictive, in that it's not just a racing game but it's an open world racing game with people (well cars) to talk to so you never know what you'll find in the game.

The story, alright here's the story, you're just a random little car in a place called Peach Town, probably getting a tune up or something because you drove into the Mechanics. Well as you're getting worked on, the mechanic tells you, "Yo, there's this big racing tournament going on because the President of our world is tired of being the president, and whoever races up the ladder and beats him gets to be the President." And so you set off on an adventure to become the very best racer but also get to make friends and do side quests throughout the game.

As for the depth, well like I said it's an Open World Racing game and I feel like it was one of the beginners in that area and I applaud it for being so. Like I said, there's side quests, there's racing, there's even little mini-games like golfing and soccer. You ever hit an over sized golf ball or soccer ball with a car before? No you haven't. That's why I love it's depth.

The game wasn't too difficult but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park either. If you weren't well prepared for racers, cars would zip by you once the race started and it'd be almost impossible to catch up, but it still had races that gave you leeway to earn up money to get to the more challenging races (did I forget to mention you can name your own money too? How cool is that!)

All in all, this game gets my 10/10, would nostalgia and show my kids forever.

I would say this is a good start to writing game reviews.  Your writing style is entertaining enough, and would only get more so as you developed it.  That said this review does come off as rushed.  While I can tell you have played this game and enjoyed it, if you had gone into more detail as to why I think I would have enjoyed it more.  I think this is probably one of your first reviews and it is a good start.  Maybe go into a little more depth on the points your making and I think you could write some superb reviews.

fightorace : While not my first review, it is my first expanded on review on a game that I really enjoy. I can see where you think it's rushed and I understand that thinking about my actions while writing it. Guess hype does that to ya.

I'll work on getting better at writing reviews where I see need to put one, as most games I'm going through right now  are part of my physical collection and I haven't played some in a while, so I don't exactly have a fresh view on them and thus can't review them to the best of my ability. Albeit now that I say that and think that Road Trip hasn't been played in a while, I still know I got the core parts down but will work on future reviews to expand upon those kind of core parts.

Excellent review. Its been a long time since I played this game, so I might have to revisit it after reading this review. :3

One thing I might suggest is that you write a bit more naturally.
So instead of saying:
"The story, alright here's the story,"  just get right into it and say "Alright here's the story" or "This game is highly addictive" instead of "The addictiveness to me, well this game is highly addictive"

Keep up the good work.
Review some more underrated games so I can get an idea of what to play next.
