A vehicular combat racing game in the style of Wipeout by none other than Bullfrog! Except that this one didn't break the time limit! What's going on? Well Hi-Octane has a lot going for it, but the technical issues with forcing the Magic Carpet engine to create a realistic racing game prove to be its downfall. It's still a fun racing game and Lawnie has a blast flying through the first track, but it's not quite on a par with the developer's usual brilliance.
