Stop! Put that box back! Don't buy it!

I've always enjoyed racing games on the Nintendo 64, so I thought why not try a racing game on my Nintendo Gameboy Color? And certainly a game with the Nascar name must be good, right? Wrong!
Let's get to the biggest disappointment first: only THREE tracks! Yes, only THREE! Topeka, Sonoma, and Seneca. And there is barely any difference between the three. They each have a slightly different shape and slightly different scenery.
The cars are also a disappointment. Now I realize the Gameboy has limited graphics, but I've seen better. These cars all look the exact same except that they are different colors. And what about options on your own race car? You can chose between automatic and manual transmission. That's it. Just one option. You can't even pick the color of your own car.
The developers of this game were obviously not big on options. There are only two play mode options: practice and race.
The only cool feature is the built in rumble pack. It causes the Gameboy to shake when you go off the track or hit another car. You also get a good idea of how fast you are going by the slight vibrating during regular racing.
But the rumble feature is not enough to save this poor game.
