Burnin' Rubber is a racing game that was packed-in with the Amstrad GX4000 console.
+ The day/night system as you complete each lap is impressive and makes the journey feel grander in scale.
+ Graphics are superb with detailed car sprites and some excellent animation, particularly the waving flags prior to each race.
- Only one mode offering a rather bare-bones package that lacks any real replay value once you've completed the short GP.
- No meaningful scenic variety and the minor shifts in roadside objects aren't enough to make the locales feel distinctive.
- Controls are stiff and attempting swift manoeuvres is pot-luck due to your heavy vehicle and lack of steering animation.
- Fellow drivers have a maddening tendency to move their vehicle into your lane, just as you're about to pass them.
