Climax makes some of the best mediocre games in the business. While that sounds like damning by faint praise, I mean it as a compliment. Like its recently released Crash ‘n' Burn (published by Eidos), Stunt Track Challenge makes the most of what it's working with. It does the Hot Wheels license proud by sticking to the over-the-top maneuvers that we all imagined our lil' cars could do when we were kids. Now, don't expect the next Burnout 3 or GT 4, but the bite-sized, stunt-oriented stages are for the most part well-executed and keep things fresh between the more conventional races – even with the painfully dorky "host" character. The single-player is fairly short, but I do applaud the fact that they've included online contests, assuming you can actually find some other people out there that are playing this game. Good fun – nothing more, nothing less.
