FAN ART

Cars that you drive all have own look and own feel to driving and own stats.

Modes all own feel and alot of variety to them and offer alot of choice.

Controls are easy to pick up and learn.

Easy to learn the game as not to complex to learn.

Graphics have a nice retro old school arcade cabinet style.

No reason to replay the levels unless you are trying to get a better rank.

Would of loved bigger courses as felt empty would of liked different paths to find to find shortcuts.

Arcade handling on the cars make it not as smooth as hoped for as some feel heavy to turn others fill like on ice.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall the cars are cool and all have own feel and look to them and has alot of different modes to try and the controls are easy to pick up and the game is easy to learn and not to complex and the graphics have a retro old school arcade cabinet style look. However for £15.99, no reason to replay the levels unless you are trying to get gold rank and the courses are small, wish there where more open with multiple routes and arcade handling made the cars not as smooth as hoped for.

WAIT ON A SALE.
