Using em was very class based, which sucked, but finding a new chest was like Christmas every time! The vehicles sucked but I loved getting new guns!

Its controls responded more to the camera's positioning than its own steering, and out of its choice of two weapons, only the rocket launcher seemed useful. Boosting around with unlimited ammo was kind of fun, but it eventually lost its charm. The vehicle also had an uncanny ability to <i>explode</i> enemies by nudging them while going at 5 mph. These same enemies could take 10 rockets to the face without really being in danger. As far as I know, there was actually only one vehicle, and it was pretty lousy.
