Rally-like arcade for embeded videocard

The biggest plus is that it runs smooth on notebook with embeded Intel card (detected as 4600 or smth) I've passed the Bronze by now (9/36 races) - the asphalt tracks are easiest and most predictable. After some practice/upgrades 1st track is just 1000$ prize for 4 minutes racing. - there is defenetely some catch-up - you won't lose too much crashing as team will slow down while you restart, and there would be always one car trying to keep close if you are leading to make your nervous enough - car selection does matter. 1st car sucks, while selecting other one make me pass bronze with only few replays. so chose wise. - once you pass bronze you have to buy new silver car as you upgraded bolid sucks. so you probably don't need all the upgrades but better keep the money. good news is that silver car is allowed to race a bronze race, making easy money - bonus stunt events sucks to me, as it's not about the racing. but try it once to see if it make fun to you. to sum up: somethere between Juiced and Colin Mcrae Rally. Must buy on Sale. ('Loosing is fun' style) p.s. using 'Normal' handling + Auto.

Overrated

This game really isn't as amazing as most people would have you believe. You can definitely get some enjoyment out of it, but you need to lower your expectations and shift your perspective. This game describes the game-play as "high-octane racing, smash-em-up demolition derby action". Which is incredibly ironic because, when it comes to collisions, I don't think I've ever played a more punishing racing game. In the few hours of playtime that I've accumulated, I can't count the number of times I've been been launched through the windshield because of the tiniest bump. If it doesn't launch you OUT of the car, then its just going to launch the entire car. What you actually SHOULD do in this game is literally the complete opposite of what you're encouraged to do. Drive as slowly as you possibly can and avoid collisions with everything. Colliding with other cars is generally fine, but useless most of the time. God forbid you ever graze a wooden fence. If you think this would be simple, it helps to know that the car handles like you're driving on ice most of the time. This gets worse the further you progress.

Its OK... -ish

Its... OK... ish... I started playing on professional, bronze all 1st... but is not worth it. Just play on Normal !! About 18h for me :) There are some cheeky shortcuts on some of the race tracks, use R quick :)) ,drivetrain upgrade :) and so on... The collision physics are sometimes rly stupid... most of the times :( Drive safe, use breaking, avoid crazy AI :)) This title would had been rly fun with friends :) to wreck eachother :)) and destroy the AI :)) But the multiplayer network I dont think is working (stated on gog shop page single only) and the multiplayer hotseat seems very lame :( So... get it on a rly rly low discount, if you want, or get it on a future giveaway... if will be :)) Fun but annoying :))

Fun but you better have tons of patience

Issues that tested my patience. -Front of the car suddenly getting stuck on something and reverse taking ages to get it out, or making the car spin over and over, like an involuntary awful donut. -Reset is downright broken, don't rely on it. If you crash you can spam that key as much as you like but it'll only feel like putting your car back on track after precious seconds later. It's even worse if you wanna reset but haven't gotten a proper "crash cam" yet (say, you drove off track and, while managing to keep the car steady, you're going fast). And the worst part, the reset can send you REALLY back, and if you press it again 'cause you were desperate spamming the key trying to get back, after hitting it again after the reset, it can even send you FURTHER back. -The off track penalty is bipolar. You can either find really useful shortcuts or drive the wrong centimeter off and get told to reset. -Sometimes you can crash through a sign or a door and keep driving but if you drive through a small barrel or 2 piled tires then that'll be enough to send you to brazil or wreck your car. It also makes the nitro system inconsistent 'cause strong crashes sometimes give nothing but running over small cones can straight up fill your bar. Am I driving a heavy american car or a twingo? I get that the appeal is haha funny crashes but the novelty wears thin when you want to get that 1st place, and to do so, you have to go slow, which feels kinda cursed for a racing game. I get trying to get a hold of the car but that's one thing, and cheesing gold cup by just...going a bit slower is a different thing. All in all it is fun when things go well, but man it can get frustrating. The bonus events are fun tho! And it is entertaining when the CPU ends itself and you get 1st row seat to watch it. It is a bit sad none of the tuning modifications change the visuals of the car but that's a nitpick. Get it for free or on a sale and if you REALLY want another old arcade racing game.

There's A Reason They Gave It Away

Wow just wow one of the worst PC ports and games I've ever played. I can see why GOG gave this game away all them years ago. I tried to enjoy it, but the terrible UI and lack of controller support on top of the bad driving mechanics and lack of any real content/depth. Left me just wanting to go back to real good racing games like Mario Kart Wii, Daytona USA, Moto Racer, and more. I can see the potential and I'm sure the sequels are far better. But for the first game it's nothing special and not even worth getting for free if GOG ever decides to give it away again. But hey if you enjoy it, you enjoy it.
