Nothing good to say about this game (but the drift, drift is OK).

- Rubber bonding is a plague. The races has a "Groundhog day" feeling, You always compete against 2 to 4 opponents (based on difficulty), you will always pass them and then they will pass you and try to ram you. If they succeed your race is over (but in normal difficulty). The most convenient way to win races is to build your booster level and boost 2 or 3 times on the final straight (just lame).

- Nothing screams retro or arcade to me. Not the cheap placed "Easter eggs", reminders of other arcade games like Daytona or hydro thunder, not the use of a Sega-ish announcer not even the Virtua rally aesthetic, because the game-play is mediocre at best.

- Use of bad cheap stereotypical humor.

- Main "career mode" is meh at best, normal tournaments are boring, hard and expert difficulty are irritating, and the fact that you can't restart the race (it restarts the GP) is frustrating. They could implement the progression system into the game instead of making a shop to buy skins.

- Bad optimization with choppy framerate on high settings and in some circuits on medium (Ryzen 5 5500U and RTX 3050).

Avoid this one as a plague.

The handling physics, vehicle customization, and overall presentation are pretty well done for a game that's meant to capture the feel of Sega's racing games from the 90's.

The game's biggest issue is the rubberbanding. It's fine on the lower difficulties, but the races become very frustrating on hard mode and that's about the time I stopped playing. The voice samples get grating after a while but they can be muted at least.

It's still worth grabbing on sale if you're looking for an arcade racer to play in short bursts.
