i liked it, but the ease of getting more lives makes the game more time consuming then challenging. gaining 2 lives in a round, then losing one doesnt mean much when you can just get 2 more lives going through the map again. i found many levels where infinite lives was a definite possibility.
i think for a second one, should there be one, it would be cool to be able to change the vehicle you drive. like if you drive the bike, you are faster and have better turbo, but you go flying when you hit a purple car, the truck isnt as fast, but barely moves when hit, and the car somewhere in the middle.
