Now the Saturn has some pretty bad racing games but why am I not surprised that the worst one of all comes from Electronic Arts (Bullfrog is owned by EA). This game is bloody awful in every way possible. OK, first up the graphics. The draw distance on the track is abysmal with some of the blockiest looking textures ever and to top it all off they warp like hell. Oh and let's not forget to mention the course design is not only boring as hell but incredibly short in some cases. Then there's the awful clipping and frame rate dropping all the time for no apparent reason. The cars or ships or what ever they are aren't even texture mapped ! The design of them is very poor as well. Now maybe the sound is good or maybe not. Just like the graphics the audio is pathetic. But wait ! Maybe Hi-Octane plays really well ! Yeah, and maybe shit taste good ! The controls are very sluggish indeed making it more of a chore to play than anything else.

Avoid this travesty of a game at all costs ! A pure Wipeout wannabe that fails miserably.
