If anyone was contemplating buying the April '96 issue b/c of the "Exclusive
Game! Leading Lap SE...Never before released!"  The final phrase, should
be the clincher, its obvious why it was never released, this has to be
without a doubt one of the worst pieces of shit ever to grace their covers.
It's a polygon racing game, and steering control is absolutely abysmal!
It makes the vehicles from "Midwinter II Flames Of Freedom" seem like Porche
901s or F15s (and I'm talking about even the balloons or walking!)

To the editors of Cu Amiga, you should be ashamed of yourselves, and to
the publisher Reflex Interactive, you obviously have no shame, as you
have the nerve to try to sell an upgrade (in conjunction with CU Amiga)
with more tracks, an editor, and pretty scenery.  For a company that
just recently upped the retail price of their magazine, you'd think
they'd have more sense than to be associated with such a piece of dreck.
I would have much sooner have had a couple of game demos (Chaos 2!!)
than getting burned with trash like this.

Matt Bettinson, if you're reading this, I dare you to defend this disk!
