looks kinda lame. ill have to pass

My thoughts exactly...MS could've invested in a better IP then this imo.

It was pretty much a garage sale, they probably got a pretty good deal on it and what ever else they bought

Ah ok, well in that case it was probably worth it.

I'm baffled by this post. Did you play the original game on consoles or the Arcade? It was one of the greatest racers ever.

I wasted tons of quarters on this game in the Arcades. Very good decision on MS's part, and I can only hope that we get a full fledged retail game in the future.

I wonder what else Microsoft bought from Midway?

I'm wondering the same thing. Does anyone know a list of the IP that Midway owned before the warner Bros buyout?
