    2.5 is very generous

    You forgot to mention the dire online which makes holding 10 players across 2 races very difficult, certain achievements unlocking randomly while others are glitched and don't unlock when you meet the criteria.

    Overall it's very poor, there is little fun to be had with this game

    You had me at your mention of Beetle Adventure Racing but I was gutted to read about all the problems. Great review all the same, I think I'll have to skip this one though.

    I was so stoked about this at first, but when I saw the first footage that disappeared as snow before the sun...

    Maybe online multiplayer is revived after the actual game release on Jan 2017 ? I mean the game is not out yet to see if multiplayer is dead or not.

    I believe TA automatically shows you your own region, and the game is not out yet in some regions, but it has already been out in Europe for a few weeks.

    I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

    Yep, I'm specifically referring to the dire experience 10+ of us had recently trying to boost the win an online championship with 10 players achievement.

    Painful and frustrating are 2 polite words that come to mind :)

    I`m with adiash73 on this one probably the worst boosting session I`ve been in, the only thing that saved it was the other boosters and the good laugh we had, definately a 0/5 from me, totally broken game that should have never passed a quality control program, never mind getting released in this state. Microsoft need to start cracking down on developers / publishers to make sure games make it to the marketplace in a playable way. Fair enough if the game is garbage , but at least have the achievements unlock when the criteria is met, now and again 1 might slip thru but this game has numerous glitched / glitchy achievements.

    Just to add to the notes from that 10+ player session (which was a good laugh but painful at the same time). At least 9 achievements are confirmed as currently glitched and unobtainable. 2.5 is highly over-rated. Possibly 1 star is more like it

    The rubber band AI make a total mockery of any skill aspects. In order to progress the career further you have to 3 star tournaments to unlock characters require for the first race in the next set

    Shame to hear it sucks, I used to love Moto Racer 1 and 2 (esp #2) and had planned on buying this for the buddy so we could play it in VR. Maybe too much of the dev time was spent on VR and too little on making the game play well. :( Maybe that it's not as good as expected is partly why it's selling for €35 in shops from day of release?

    Starts a multiplayer race. Spawns in the water. Game freezes and forces a reload....my misery continues
