This is one of the best Flash racing games I've ever played! There's no real plot, but the tracks progress nicely, with difficulty being exponential, but not too difficult in the beginning. The controls are simple, and anyone can just pick up the game and play immediately. The graphics are great for any Flash game. The only suggestions for a SandStorm Racing 2 is having a minimap and a suggested curve to turn on (like Forza). Everything else is great. 4 star get.
Actually, I find that the 360 degree leverage you have (instead of only four directions) is actually a benefit. It doesn't hold true to the original game, but it doesn't have to. The only restrictions are a snake who wants to eat food. The food makes him longer. If he crashes into himself, he dies.
If a snake variant holds these requirements, then my golly, you have a good snake game.
