The game crashed when I had won the platinum cup, now that was annoying. Wells I had won because of a bug anyways... <_<
[/b]

Yep it almost always crashed for me after all tracks of the platinum cup were down and the credits were about to load. I found the trick was (sometimes, also not always) not to unlock the big Panda "bear" car before the cup isn't won and the data saved after quitting the game. Still it crashes even without the Panda car very often.
There're only two sure options to win it - to try again and again until you have it, or to download this cheat (unlocks all cars and tracks) at DLH. I prefer to try again and again, that way I have at least some fun and a feeling of have won the fair, earned way.

hey i downloaded it and really love it. It hooks you more than anything else. k: But the only thing is near the end of the race, right as I am about to finish the last lap the big "GO" sign comes up again and the race clock starts over. So essentially I could win the race in last place as long as I am the fastest in the last 7 or 8 seconds of the race. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks

I am not surprised that this company went bancrupt.

I am mainly because in the same year they release "Shadow Man" probably one of the best (adventure) game I've ever played!

The loading time are very weird because Shadow Man only takes 5 seconds to load a whole 3D level and you can see stuff miles away but Re-Volt takes AGES!

Bad things:
-No music[/b]

There is music in the CD version (pretty good too) but this must be a rip...

Is the Toyeca the best car? What do you think?

Not really, Zipper and Cougar are the really best at their availability times. Homer is also not bad (that black car you get pretty late in the game). Toyeca is just too heavy to really speed up, and also too heavy to react good at the curves.

I have tried all cars and don't agree. If you watch the stats, the Toyeca's speed+accel are some of the best, almost as high as Humma's, but Humma's too prone to skid. I don't remember Zipper right now, but Cougar, being fast, takes forever to accelerate. The Toyeca is in fact one of the cars that react best at curves, and its speed makes it very easy to win every race except the annoying obstacle circuits. You should try all those you mention along with the Toyeca in a row, and compare the results.

Be sure, I tried them all as I played the game earlier for very long time, and Cougar is quite faster than Toyeca. You're right, Toyeca isn't that bad when there's nothing better, I confused it with another car, but Cougar is simply the fastest car out there, except that Panda car maybe and the UFO while it's flying but even Panda should be slower than Cougar. Toyeca is just a little bit too slow reacting at curves, Cougar can do that better. It speeds up slightly slower than for example Hummer, but when it's rolling there's no other car that can overcome Cougar. When I have this one, I prefer it over all other cars. Btw., I steer always with keyboard so maybe it's little different with a joystick. As to not confuse something, with Cougar I mean that yellow flat strong looking car that you can see competing against you before you have it yourself.
As for Zipper, it comes little late when unlocked but is still the best one until faster cars come. It's handy, heavy enough but not too heavy and very good at the curves.

I've just tried the Zipper and the Cougar again. The Zipper is vastly inferior to the Toyeca, the latter looks like cheating compared to it, way faster and turns sharplier. The Toyeca is one of the cars that turns sharpliest and skids less, certainly so compared to cars with similar speed, I can't see why you say that it reacts badly at curves.

The Cougar is better than the Zipper, I got good results with it but not as good as with the Toyeca. It's only marginally faster but it doesn't pay off for its low acceleration, which makes it way slower on the average when having to speed up at every moment after slowing down at curves, especially in the harder courses. And weight is actually a good thing, and the Cougar is in fact nearly exactly as heavy as the Toyeca, which is good.

Well you see, with Toyeca it was quite hard for me to win for example the first track of the last, platinum cup, while with Cougar (after I unlocked it by winning the cup) it was much easier for me due to it's faster speed. The slightly lower acceleration isn't an issue since when Cougar accelerates it overmatches the faster accelerating, but not as fast cars. And on the curves it's ideal. No idea *shrugs* maybe it's just my style of steering that Cougar suits me better, at least I never failed to reach the first place on every track with it while it wasn't the case with Toyeca. If you set the speed display in the options to kmh or similar, so it shows the metric speed, you'll see the speed difference between Toyeca and Cougar especially clear. Toyeca is very fast, but Cougar is even faster

Btw., if we could set up a multiplayer match against each other to try the both cars on each side, I could show you why Cougar is the winner and not Toyeca.
