Speedway Racing Reviews

Not a bad game, but if you look up gameplay for this game on Youtube the first few videos you should see are from the Switch version of the game from about a year ago. The game seemed to have very entertaining physics and AI back then that have since been patched, so no more fun crashes or ridiculous AI. This means after you 100% the game, which only takes a little over an hour, the game has very little replayability. I hope the developers revert the physics and AI or give us the option to, because the game looked really fun, now its just a by the numbers arcade racer that unfortunately doesn't last very long.

I won't say that this is a good arcade racer, but it also isn't the totally incompetent mess that all of the reviews for the Switch version made it out to be (maybe it was improved upon since then?). At any rate, there is fun to be had here with the right car on the right track. Pick something fairly fast with moderate grip and take it out on one of the larger, more open circuits. Once you get up to top speed and start drifting around other cars in the pack, it starts to feel rather nice. The main issues here are that steering is very floaty (especially at lower speeds), manual transmission doesn't factor into drifting or even impart a top speed advantage, collisions simultaneously feel wonky and weak, the smaller tracks are hopelessly cramped for the amount of cars on them, and all of the courses are plain, boring ovals. It's an arcade racer. guys. Y'gotta deliver on track design and interesting driving mechanics, or you'll come up short every time.

I got this game because it has split screen. Unfortunately there are no AI during local games. So its just me and my 7 year old driving in circles by ourselves. If they added that ONE thing it would turn my thumbs down around, but we'll see. I'll be waiting....

Straight forward, decent little NASCAR type game. Don't feel like it's Daytona imo besides how floaty the cars can be but overall, for 7 bucks? Something to kill time especially if you got kids.
