Titus' new game Roadsters can be found on all three current gaming systems. Playstation, Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast.
The game itself is much improved over their last racer, and is looking to be the best games Titus has ever made.
However it must be said that Titus' previous games we're not award winners. Superman 64, Virtual Chess 64, Xena 64...Need I say more?
This racer pits many brands of Roadsters against each other, with multiple characters to choose as drivers.
Graphically the Dreamcast version is the best, followed by N64, and then Playstation. As it should be. It must be pointed out that each edition of Roadsters is unique unto itself. The Dreamcast edition features lager tracks with hidden path ways, and extreme weather conditions. The N64 edition is much closer to the Playstation one with the exception of better graphics and no gambling is allowed. Each game may feature the same basic tracks, but is customized for each system.
Dreamcast could have had the perfect Roadsters game, but the control is so bad it would make Jeff Gordon drive like Halle Barry.

When all is said and done, Roadsters in general is decent game. The Nintendo 64 edition features the least amount of problems, so it wins by default. The Playstation version features more pop-up than a pop tart and about as much detail as well. Despite its graphical flaws it is fun, so it wins second. The Dreamcast one is only recommended to those who can withstand a lot pain and frustration.OVERALL: 7 / 6 / 5
