8/10
Slick racing game
22 September 2012
This game made freaking angry! But it was pretty dang amusing though. I definitely recommend this for anyone who really enjoys arcade style racers. Just expect some frustration along the way.

First off lets start with the pros. This game is fast, really fast, it gives off a nice sensation of speed. The fact that it has exceptional graphics adds to that. The cars handle smoothly too. The speed of the cars on this game definitely make up for the lack of a boost option. This game also gives you the option to blow up other cars in traps as well.

The single player at least has a nice 10 to 12 hours of game play. Which I love because video games seem to just get shorter and shorter nowadays. It also has some pretty decent online options for a racer too.

Now for those pesky cons. The first thing that comes to mind is the difficulty, it sometimes almost felt like I would get first place by chance. The sheer chaos this game creates from the power plays can get disorienting. Also, it would have been nice to see more variety in the environments of the tracks. Oh did I mention this game made me ANGRY?

So despite some minor hiccups along the way, this game is quite good. Hopefully you won't get as P.O.'d as I did at times.
