"A racing game that revs up with style but crashes hard in execution"
🎮 Gameplay: This game tries it's best to look badass with its graphics but the physics ruins everything. I tested two cars with drastically different stats. The lower-tier car was so hard to turn that's it's nearly unturnable and the higher-tier car turns like it's possessed, crashing into every damn corner like it's got a death wish. Also you got some invisible wall on the track which you'll hit everytime and all of this together, you've got one of the worst racing gameplay experiences. [2.1/10]
📖 Storyline: There is a story mode and many other game modes like time trial, chase, etc.. But the story mode is absolutely ass. I can write a better story than ts when I'm drunk and high asf. [2/10]
🕹️ Controls: The game offers tilt and two touch control schemes: arrow buttons or tapping left/right sides of the screen. Default is tap-to-turn, with swipe up for nitro and swipe down to brake/drift. Auto-acceleration is on by default, and turning it off is a trap, because you lose access to brakes completely, dumb af. Controller exists, but I didn’t test it. [3.5/10]
🚀 Travel & Transportation: There’s a solid looking lineup of vehicles, but you’re not gonna drive them unless you pay. Everything is locked behind a paywall, and grinding is meaningless. The car models are designed to resemble real ones without matching them (licensing dodge), but the result is cars that just look off and goofy. [5.9/10]
🎨 Graphics: The graphics on high settings are kinda nice. Good lighting, sharp shadows, and a crisp look overall. But then those awkward car models drag it down. Visual potential is there, but it's wasted on everything else being a mess. [7/10]
🎧 Sound: The car sounds ain't it, and some times the engine sounds just stutters. [4/10]
👩‍👧‍👦 Character Customization: Paint jobs only. And even those are limited to preset colors per car [2.9/10]
🎖️ Progression System: This is where the game hits rock bottom. You can’t unlock cars without dropping cash. Game modes outside the campaign are also locked behind a paywall. The only real “progress” is unlocking the next mission. It's basically a free demo that forgot to tell you it's a demo. [1.9/10]
👍 Pros:
  1. Decent graphics
  2. Offline
👎 Cons:
  1. Terrible physics
  2. Every single thing behind paywalls
  3. Zero progression unless money paid
💖 Overall Experience: Has potential... But with clunky physics, broken controls, a greedy progression model, and cars that handle like they’re drunk, it fails on nearly every front. Outside of the graphics, there’s not much to enjoy here unless you’re a glutton for punishment, or a whale with a wallet. [3.6/10]
