A more rally-centric Micro Machines meets Death Rally without the guns. Power Drive is a top down racer that has a lot of interesting ideas and a neat soundtrack, but the execution is distinctly average in the gameplay department. Lawnie struggles with cycles counts, car handling, and lap times before eventually giving up. Not bad, but not great.
