Scenic time-trial. "A game for extreme sports lovers like me", boasts Bell. Yes, if you've ever wanted to know what Dr Evil meant by "My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons", this could be your chance to learn the fine art of hurtling downhill on a sort of reclining go-kart thing at getting on for 100 km/h.
There are other things you should concentrate on at that sort of speed, but the scenery - especially on the first two stages - is breathtaking. Unfortunately, this means you also need a reasonably fast PC (and patience for long-ish loading times), and it's not like you get to race anyone else - you don't even get to pick up sweets that previous players have left lying around the course.
Controls: Arrow keys for left and right, A and Z to accelerate and brake.
Tips: You can clear most corners at about 70-80 km/h (as long as you're not still trying to accelerate), and we found the middle "Canyon" course the easiest to get started on - the most difficult is probably "City".
