TRF - The Race Factory Reviews

Nice, simple arcadey drift controls. Just straight up, 2D top-down racing fun. Haven't had a chance to try multiplayer yet (but the AI's are good opponents), but I think this would be a lot of fun with friends.

For the price its pretty fun. Sad that the online is a bit messy though

Recent updates have made the game more stable, and the developer is working on new features, which is really good. Lots of bugs have been fixed since release. The game has several fun gamemodes, two types of track editor (one currently in beta, as of writing this review), multiple car classes, including street, formula, karts, trucks, boats, among others. The difficulty is alright most of the time, but do not play drift mode on mountain circuit. Just don't, you'll regret it. That was the first thing I played, and it lead me to leave a negative review at first. I'm still not a huge fan of the handling, because most cars drift even at low speed, but you can get used to it. I think the best feature is the new track editor, because it lets you create absolutely any shape, even real racetracks with relative ease. All in all, definitely worth its price.

Really enjoyed the controls, even when using a keyboard. Felt responsive and fun to drift around corners. Had lots of fun with the boat races as well, but if you made a mistake it could be quite dramatic to recover from until I learned to press R to get back on track.

Simple but fun game with a fair degree of challenge to it. Controls are very responsive and, as terrible a player as I am, with practice I was able to get the hang of it pretty quick. I like the added element of surprise in the form of power-ups, they can be the difference between a sweet last second victory and a soul crushing 'almost made it' moment. I've not had a chance to test out the track builder yet, but I'm definitely motivated to keep playing to unlock all the features.

Awesome concept with good execution of gameplay. A few minor bugs, but the dev is persistent to fix them. There are several modes and features to have fun with while keeping things rather simple.

Very good game, though, it does crash a lot. The thing is, you can report bugs and crashes to the dev, who actively updates and patches the game.

I had this on my wishlist and i got the notification it was released, and at under £4 i thought why not. This is basically a very basic (but good) version of micro machines except more micro. The graphics are nothing to write home about but the control of the vehicles (which is most important) is pretty good. There are different classes which all handle differently. My favourite are go kart, formula and boat as they are nippy and great to control flying around corners. There are power ups also which add a bit of a depth as well. With a bit of community involvement, online races could be a lot of fun. Hopefully enough people buy it and we can get some online races on the go.
