This was kind of fun until the major difficulty spike in time trials. I know you're supposed to look for shortcuts, but I'd rather just drive well.

Tried to go back to this tonight and realized why I gave up, because the game hits a wall of unbeatability. The game is playable for a good while, and then it's almost like the developers screwed up the times required for something to be beaten and didn't make sure they could be. And no, this isn't a "git gud" …

Tried to go back to this tonight and realized why I gave up, because the game hits a wall of unbeatability. The game is playable for a good while, and then it's almost like the developers screwed up the times required for something to be beaten and didn't make sure they could be. And no, this isn't a "git gud" bullshit moment. The times you complete the track come in WELL over the amount necessary, regardless of how well you do. The game is, quite literally, inaccessible after a certain point, and it's a damn shame, because up til then it had been a blast.

Game is pretty good overall, just a fun unique little racing title, but I gotta ask...why's the soundtrack so goddamned funky? This is a masterpiece of funk. This is so funky that I feel like I should be wearing platform shoes with little fish swimming around in the bottom. This soundtrack FUCKING SLAPS, DUDE.

Ok, I do have one criticism for this game. It really could use some better music.

I'd consider buying this for the track building alone. I had a copy of Mod-Nation Racers, a so-so racing game with a fantastic course building engine. I had so much fun building race tracks. Excitebike on NES and RPM Racing on SNES also contribute to my love for racing games that let you build and race your own tracks. I would love to do that again on a modern system.

And I won't lie, I love the aesthetic of little plastic near weightless cars driving around these tracks in the trailer. I hope the gameplay captures that same aesthetic.
