D+PAD: Scrap Metal Reviewed
Anyone who has fond memories of wrestling with one of the three steering wheels on the arcade classic Ivan "Ironman" Stewart’s Super Off Road will have a fair idea of what Scrap Metal is about, namely hurling loud cars around small isometric tracks while jostling for pole position.
