I’m not usually into racing games, but this one had a cool retro vibe and was on discount, so I gave it a shot and ended up really enjoying my evening with it

Neutral stance on this game, but the positives slightly beat out the negatives. I absolutely adore the art style they've got going on here. I also love that the cars are pretty much normal cars with some anti-gravity, anti-matter engine thingamajig that explains why the cars can run at mach 6. What I don't like is the gameplay aspect. I'm willing to chalk it up to my skill issue, but I just couldn't get into the handling system or have fun with it. It feels like a weird mix between post-Ridge Racer 5 and SEGA Outrun handling. It just didn't feel satisfying to me, and I saw little reason to master the handling. Still, this is one of the better racing games released during its time. Everytime I'm reminded of NFS Payback a tear rolls down my eye.

Overall would definitely recommend. Very unique and satisfying controls and drift mechanics that are easy to pick up but difficult to master. The individual story mode isn't that long but there are multiple game modes outside the story, plus you can replay the story with each selectable character for a different storyline and difficulty level. There's a range of cars that require a pretty significantly different technique to manage, which keeps the game consistently challenging. I found it very easy to lost track of time trying over and over again to master each track. The art style and soundtrack are also stunning, which certainly helps.

An absolute blast. If you're willing to put in a bit of time and climb a learning curve it is a great experience. My friends and I have a joke that this game is "what it is like to Chew 5 gum" because it just ***feels*** exceptional. Highly recommend controller with vibration on for maximum over stimulation.

really enjoying this game. Arcade style. a bit of learning curve. music aint bad, but still better to listen to Eurobeat while playing it. Practice the track! braking is better than bumping. Price: 8/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Storyline: 3/10 (you dont need to know the storyline to have fun here) Repetitive: 7/10, (somewhat repetitive, but the faster you go, the game feels different) Skill: 8/10, (there is a skill ceiling, all about minimizing drift, and learn slip angle more)
