might want to put an invisible wall around the track, when you fly off the track the entire screen goes blue and you lose all controls. good game though, little short though

One of the best racing games I've ever played. Feels just like something I'd find in an arcade. Works almost perfect with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, which only enhances the near-perfect arcade feel.
Great job.

It's like a mix of Driver, Need for Speed, and Burnout. Great game, the only problems are that the camera needs work, and upgrades and more cars are needed to make the game more interesting.

great grame but the cmera doesn't turn around sometimes after stunts, no need for the money, and the controls don't work half the time. 2/5 until these issues are resolved.

SO... i'm driving along, decide to do a jump and a cop car jumps over the top of me... standard... however this time he just starts flying and nearly hits the helicopter!!! :D usually this would be put down as a glitch but this is the kind of thing that MAKES this game!! it amazing! 5/5

Very fun driving game. The controls were quite responsive, if not a little too responsive, but still enough to keep fairly good control of the car in the most chaotic of situations. The graphics are pretty good, except when you fullscreen it. Then they become rather pixelated. It reminds me of the very early NFS games graphics wise (as well as gameplay). I really don't understand the point of collecting the money, unless they serve as only a bonus point collection. Would be nice to upgrade the vehicle with the cash gained on the way. I did experience one minor hiccup in the game. After completing the game and unlocking the new car, I restarted the game and picked the orange flame graphic. Halfway through the first chapter I ran through the trigger at the tollbooth and my car changed back to the default graphic and stayed that way throughout the entire game. But aside from that, it is a quite nice cat and mouse racer!

If you played the two first Loose the Heat games, then this one is a big improvement. Only it was a little short and more restrictive, but honestly: I was impressed with the first 2 games, and this one is just awesome!!

I played the previous 2 LtH games and this one is a lot better than them. It's finally straightforward instead of a damn labirynth city, civil cars don't act like police anymore and the police cars aren't that though now either. You can just speed trough the whole game and that's awesome. And when things start to heat up you just call for the back up truck.
I disagree with Toimus' comment: the controls are fine, the difficoulty is fine (no need to fine tune them), and upgrades are cmpletely unnecessery here (your car is fine already).
Thigs that could improve the game: MORE LEVELS!!! Other things: maybe a few sharp turns to make use of the handbrake. Also the new car could be more than just the same car with different coloring and it shouldn't change back to your old car after the first level.

A few things to say about this game...
15 years ago, this could have passed for a full-on retail computer game... think driver, midtown madness, carmageddon, need for speed 3. Okay, it isn't quite that good, but it is close. Blows my mind to think about it.
What is the efficiency rating at the end of levels? I have no clue.
The 'explosion cam' is annoying and interrupts the action.
There should be a reason for collecting the money, besides just for the sake of collection money.. give us something to buy with it!

1: Why can't we use the Truck all the time? 2: Why do the cops flip over so voluntarily all the time? 3: Why all four cars of a roadblock flip over when you potentially hit only two of them? 4: The race doesn't feel fast enough. 5: Where do I use those money I collect?

Would also like volume controls. Nice to be able to mute, but middle ground between blaring and off would be even better.

Love this game. 4 stars. I'd give it 5 if you could fix the glitch that makes the camera go off and some strange random angle half the time when you come back from a cutscene.
