Play modes are similar to most racing games. The game's adventure mode is great. The Disney World Fireworks Magic Machine has been blown into pieces and you have to race as one of the game's 10 Characters (including Chip, Dale, and Jiminy Cricket) to find the pieces of the fireworks machine. You can use weapons such as acorns, frog spells, and teacups to subdue your rivals on the way to victory.
The thirteen tracks of the game include classics such as Space Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Carribbean as well as the lastest attractions such as the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Test Track, and Countdown to Extiction (called Dinosaur in the game).
The tracks are probably some of the most impressive looking racing courses on the Playstation. Most tracks are a near copy of the real thing. Each course is extremely long and filled with tons of shortcuts and hidden passages. Splash Mountain's course has the 5-story drop, Pirates of the Carribean has accurately modeled scenes from the real thing IN THE CORRECT SPOTS. The Tommorrowland Speedway course even includes breathtaking views of monorail tracks, the Cinderella Castle, and the off-property Contemporary resort hotel.
The sound is also spectacular. Yes, there are the cartoonish sound effects, but these are cancelled out by the crisp, clear authentic ride music and character voices in the game.
Unlike Crash Team Racing, each racer does not have their own custom vehicle. Rather, each course has it's own vehicle modeled on authentic ride vehicles. On Splash Mountain, you race logs. At Blizzard Beach snowmobiles are used, and Big Thunder Mountain uses mine trains.
A couple things are lacking from the game. First, most of the characters are original Disney characters such as Amanda Sparkle. A roster of characters from the rides would have been better. Second, in the Vs. mode you can only race two players, not 4 like in CTR. Third, There is no standard arcade-type mode. To race against a full slate of opponents, you must use the Adventure mode.
Overall, this title gives CTR a run for its money. If you are a Disney fan, this is a must own.
