March 2025
Very underrated and unique game. It was also a technical and graphical marvel when it came and it doesn't even look like a game from 2010. Blowing up a tower on the distance over your opponents and then using it as a bridge, is unforgettable experience that can't be seen in other games. The game is not without its downsides: the AI is cheating like a pig. You can drive flawlessly for 2 laps and they will pass you like nothing happened. It can also be impossible to catch on with the 1st place if you crash early on. Because the game is no longer in active development, there is also an unresolved save error at Season 6. Make sure to backup the save file when getting there and read a tutorial if you get the error. The game rarely (if at all) goes on sales but even with its flaws, it is worth the money.

This game is so fucking fun, just as I remember it! Worth the full price at $20 but wait for a sale if you aren't sure or budget strapped. This needs to be remade or a sequel needs to be made. And give it full wheel support! C'mon Disney, you know you love money!

I don't really know how to put into words how exhilarating this game made me feel. Genuinely the most fun I've personally had in a racing game ever. You'd think the powerplays are the most intense things about the game, but it's also the really creative route changers and even the amazing soundtrack. I know that some people may hate the driving physics of the game, but I find it adds a layer of strategy and reward getting your drifts right or getting your car under control and not plummeting into a wall due to an explosion's shock-wave.

Overall: as well said by GameSpot: "This ... arcade racer may have only one trick up its sleeve, but it's a really good trick." It's so sad to see this (and the company) fall by the wayside. I'd recommend any arcade racer gamer to play the game at least once. It's worth the experience. Played this a lot on the Xbox 360, decided to get the PC port. If you can somehow play it on console, do that instead; it's less of a headache. No sales for it anymore. Gameplay: + power plays and shortcuts are satisfying - campaign is short, will last you an extended weekend + absolutely succeeds in feeling cinematic - replay value is low once you get to know the maps ? some of the hardest time trials I've played since "Mirror's Edge: Catalyst." Videos help, and some cars are better than others. But you will make it by literally milliseconds. If you love time trials, extra replay value. Graphics: + runs smoothly - 30 fps cap, tied to physics unfortunately (a mod increases it to 60fps, no issues) (I also used "Lossless Scaling" on Steam to add frame interpolation for 180fps, far better) - aspect ratio weirdness - I'm on an ultrawide, and the game prefers to stick to 16:9 or 4:3 + great sound effects, music is epic (albeit repetitive)

Heads up about this game: the PC port is incredibly broken and even lacks official controller support. For the best experience, buy the console version. The game itself is incredibly good, and it's a shame Disney had to shut down development on the sequel.
