A slimmed down version of X3 that's ruined by relentless freezing. After you're 10+ hours into the game, advancing in-game time to the next day will freeze the game frequently causing you to lose up to 30 minutes of progress. There isn't a manual save system and there's no indication as to what causes the game to save your progress so you end up being endlessly frustrated. I'd love to keep playing but I just can't take the technical bugs any longer.
The first half of the game is silly fun where you can choose between wiping out the other cars or doing the race traditionally. Unfortunately later levels make you do obscene numbers of laps (12-15) of levels that are full of pits and obstacles that slow you down endlessly as well as being filled with near invincible police cars that relentlessly persue you. One level with 12 laps makes you climb a tiny bridge while being rammed by 3 police cars and your fellow drivers. You could instead choose to kill the other drivers but they become extremely armoured and the levels are so narrow you can hardly ever get enough speed to do damage. If you have enough speed the AI will often crash intentionally so you end up shooting past them and they sustain almost no damage. The final level even has a glitched and unkillable enemy so you have to endure 15 boring laps before you finally finish it.
