X-Car worth $15?

OK, I know at $50 X-Car was a bomb ("a" bomb, not "the" bomb).  How about for
$15?  I saw it at Wal-Mart the other day for $15 so I dl'ed the demo.  The cars
seem to have a bit too much traction and are a little too responsive, but the
graphics were good on my P166 3dfx and the garage section looked like fun.
Were there any changes from the demo?  I can see from their web site they never
supported it (no patch, no 3dfx paint util, no engine editor as planned), but
it looks like a lot of tracks (and I thought Mid-Ohio was well done, especially
the blind left coming over the hill) and right now it's the only "sports car"
game in town.  Any opinions?  Thanks.

It stayed on my hard drive for all of 30 minutes. A complete waste of time, IMHO.

My copy of Burnout came with X-car full.  Even for free, it sucked ass.

Well, it's unanimous.  Even for $15, the $$ stays in the wallet.  Thanks for
the input.

they should pay us $15 for the time we all wasted downloading the demo
