As I was playing the unreleased prototype for the Super Nintendo, it occurred to me that this was the worst racing game that I've ever experienced. Just a woefully broken game attempted on hardware that didn't have enough processing power to run a game like this. While earlier games like Test Drive successfully executed the cockpit view racing game -- this was a terrible idea for a Rally game at the time. Rally tracks are notoriously narrow, so a chase view is ideal (like the vastly superior Sega Rally on the Saturn). To give you a cockpit view on a narrow track with such an underpowered CPU in the SNES -- just a dismal and futile experience. I can emphasize just how terrible the gameplay and controls are for this mess. Cancelling this game is the only thing this developer got right.

Nintendo Power did a review prior to its planned release and shredded this game. They pointed out that the controls were awful and that the game looks like a scrolling landscape demo instead of an actual racing game.
