The graphics in POD shine -- not only is the environment beautiful, but the 3Dfx version is a marvel to both play and look at. The racing is fluid and fast, and the graphics engine is ultra-responsive to the smallest movements and adjustments.
The demo is worth looking at just to see what the next generation of racing games looks like, as there really isn't anything like this on the market right now.
Only downside: some of the supposedly futuristic cars look more like skateboards having a bad hair day or rejected Hot Wheels design prototypes. Then again, it's the future, and nobody would have foreseen what a Gremlin looked like 20 years before it was unleashed on the world. The audio in POD , as in most racing games, is a frenetic background track with the usual vroom-vroom car stuff thrown in.
No bonus points for innovation here, but no penalty for annoying announcers or cheesy voice-overs either. Human opponents are definitely where it's at in POD -- although getting synched up with them is an adventure.
