Trivia:

The Cavefish bikes sound effects were a combination of bees buzzing in a jar, a Formula 1 engine, a dental drill, and a stressed steel concrete saw.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the Vultures' plane comes to a sudden halt, Ripburger's stolen semi lurches out of the cargo bay. The truck has no trailer in the bay, but the trailer returns when it rips through the plane's loading ramp.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Ben: [narrating] Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I shoulda've known then that things were never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble.

Movie Connections:

Great game, but way too easy.

Great game, but it's way too easy. The characters and the story are really cool, the music is perfect, and it has some excellent cutscenes. It's genuinely fun to play, except that the puzzles are way to simple. They don't require the usual amount of thinking that you'd expect from a LucasArts adventure game. But all in all, it's well worth playing.
