very addictive game. a pure adrenaline rush in a arcade style with timeless visuals.

Honest review: Its a fun little racing game. Characters are a little annoying, but I think that's by design. The races on normal are challenging, for this old man. I tried on hard mode after completing the once thru, and found out why its called hard mode. If you haven't guessed it yet, its in the name. I think my kids will enjoy this game too. Cars don't really have upgrades, they just change up the way they look. There are plenty of cars to select from with their own personal stats, making the game a little more interesting too. Would I buy this game, for a deep discount it is worth it. Will I keep playing, probably so. I wanna unlock a special bobble head. =} If you like honest reviews hit that like button and have a good day!!!

Well, I bought this game imagining that would be a simple game to play for 1 or 2 hours. But it have a very good mechanic and a lot of hard achievements that prolongs the game play. The Expert level is hard and you will not be boring playing against them. And you will need to adapt your manage style dependent on the car that you choose.

Simple and Solid Arcade Racer. Hard to find find something similar. The drifting is great plus the boost mechanic Super fluid and sharp 0ld school style graphics. Saddly no crossplay , so multiplayer is dead we have a discord: https://discord.gg/uhzgNBqb we have to save this game, get online!

It is a fun and simple racing game, easy to pick up and a little difficult to master. The mechanics are exceptionally arcade-y. The game punish you for not drifting because you need to drift to gain boost. And going for 1st place from the start doesn't guarantee win because the slipstream is very powerful. The NPCs love to ram tho, sometimes mess up your racing line and punt you to the wall, very typical of average drivers. The Drift cars are almost irrelevant due to their poor speed and acceleration when racing in Expert mode (unless you master the game REALLY well) so there needs a slight balancing issues. Also I can't seem to play Online mode on Steam Deck; the game exits out when I tried to play it. Overall, a very fun, very simple circuit racing game with very fun mechanics used, and that's purty much it.
