CART Fury Championship Racing

for Sony Playstation 2

Distributed by

  • Price: £39.99
  • Players: 1
With CART Fury Championship Racing, Midway have gone from recreating and updating 80s games to making one that plays as if we're still in that decade.

Billed as high-action, fast-paced racing, yes it plays fast, but it plays like the then-golden oldie Powerdrift, but with that facility, so it's just a game of racing a car round a track faster than all the others, but with next to no substance to the actual game and certainly very little in the way of excitement or longevity.

Run round various tracks including Houston, Long Beach - California and Toronto - Canada and you'll soon be saying 'Houston, we have a problem', because there's so little variety between the tracks, especially when you only have to turn left or right round the entire track for that race - and rarely both - that you soon get bored of doing the same old thing.


game pic Choose a track, choose a driver, choose a difficulty level, choose automatic or manual, choose a mode of gameplay (arcade, simulation, season), go "Driving 101" - ie. earning a licence but certainly not up to Gran Turismo 3 standards, or play Sub Games such as "Demolition", in which you have to run every single other car off the track to get through, or "Last Man Standing", which is rather a misnomer because you only have to beat one specific car on the track to win.

Or choose something original instead.


game pic Where you do occasionally get to have some fun is by knocking others off the track, or seeing this happen ahead of you and trying to dodge the flying debris, but once you've seen this occur a few times, that's about it.

The sound is everything you'd expect, unfortunately, with nu-metal-style music popping up now and again.

We've been down this path way too often before and this game won't cut it in today's market so save your pennies.
