    Bought it last tuesday but my first inpression was not that different.
    The graphics are weird , not pixelated but it looks like checkerboarding done wrong. After that, the gameplay , it is hard to keep your car on track because of they drive like they are on an oily track. The cars felt extremely heavy and nitro was gone before I realised I pressed the button.
    After the gameplay shock you come to realise that the game is just What you see at the track selection menu. Nothing more ... just the 20 tracks for you to unlock and select them in a championship.
    No , I would not recommend it , it looks Nice ( from a distance ) and looks like fun but it really is not.

    While making the video, I thought I was being too crucial. Your comment confirms I wasn’t.

    You summed it up perfectly. These small toy looking cars shouldn’t feel impossible to control. It makes the nitro feel useless. It only makes it worse when you realize the tracks are nearly impossible to navigate through. It’s a hot mess.

    I’m interested to see my views would change if certain things were adjusted. For example:

    All tracks unlocked from the beginning
    Points for destruction
    Items similar to Mario Kart

    Things like that would be AWESOME.

    Curious to see if the base game offers a better experience via local multiplayer. If four of my friends were just goofing around, who cares who win? It’s all about the good times!

    Really awesome to see your opinion Sol76! Thanks for your comment dance

    Doesn't stand out as different at all... btw I think you meant to say critical not crucial. The game does look fun...but there are so many of this style game already, you really have to pop. Either have a unique game mechanic or just be a smooth player with clean easy to operate menus and smooth running game. I have broken myself most of achievement addiction, but I still like getting them and am still slightly turned off by super grindy hey play our game forever style achievements. How about make a game so fun to play that I WANT to play it regardless of achievements!

    Aint gonna lie...love these videos. Will seems chill in all of these.

    This game looked decidedly meh in the streams i saw of it. This just further cements it in the "not gonna get it" category.

    As much as I like racers, i never really liked top down racing games, so getting tired of so many of them. Wish they would make arcade racing games like Crusin, San Francisco Rush or Hydro Thunder because that would be something id buy.

    Thanks smile. Glad you enjoy them DaMikeSC.
    It looked blah and I really hoped it woulda been more entertaining when I got my hands on it. Man, I was wrong.
