Absolute beauty of a game. It isn't the arcady racing game that it looks like, it requires skill to win. In a nutshell this game is easy to learn, hard to master.

What a great game! Found this game thanks to Slaptrain. Well done on getting a reply from him!! I have tried in the past but been ignored despite making his beloved oval games! Anyway I love this game! Love top down racing games, love the graphics and whilst watching Slaps video I was thinking on man 2 player local would be awesome then found out it had it and it became a must buy! Be interested to see where this game goes! Great game love it (in short)

I don't play it much, but it's a really good game. Great for when you're trying to pass time or want to listen to music and relax while playing a game. The community is pretty awesome too. Overall pretty damn good especially for the price. Also they listen to the community and work on updates and bug fixes asap. When you get the game I'd recommend joining the discord server.

Just a very early first impressions as I wanted to say that the Xbone controller should work just fine as my Xbox Elite worked just fine.
Other than that, what can I say...?
It's simple as far as mechanics go but it does take some finesse to get the hang of the car - kind of like it is in Trackmania, very easy to get the basics but to "git gud" you'll have to play a lot...and not be me...
I'm going to play this on and off for sure, it's either a "I want #1 on the leaderboards" game or a fun little time waster, especially the cop chase was fun.

Very fun drifting game. If Trackmania and Absolute Drift had a baby this would not be the kid but the kid's cousin.

I love a good driving simulator, and I love a good drift game... but there are very few that get the drifting mechanics right. This Top Down driving game has simple but great looking graphics and the physics are fantastic....
Internet player vs player works well, and is a lot of fun.
There are hundreds of hours of fun to be had, and at this price tag it is a steal.
I highly recommend this game! Get it, get it now.

How to ruin a perfectly good game ?
At the core, you have a pretty decent drifting game, kind of similar to Absolute Drift (which I did recommend). The driving is rather good (though I think it was a bit better in Absolute Drift), you have plenty of different tracks (50 in normal mode, 50 more in hardcore though some are just reversed or with a slighly different layout) ranging from asphalt to ice, plenty of different cars, with different weigths, speeds, accelerations and grips.
The goal is to score up tp 8 stars by track :
- 4 for time trials (beat the normal and expert times, for 1 lap and for the overall race)
- 3 for race against AI : finish 3rd or better, finish 1st, and 1st without any damage
- 1 for a race against the police (chasing you).
Getting stars unlock tracks, which are scattered on a world map, on which you drive to get from one track to the other.
Time trial is perfectly fine and can be enjoyed on its own (at least on normal mode, where stars are rather easy to get). Multiplayer is dead (I've seen at most 3 people online, and that's probably including me), so forget about the corresponding achievements. Race against AI is a mess, as well as police chases.
First, AI cheats rather obviously (outperforms you even with inferior cars among other things). Second, even the lightest touch on a AI car (whether it's your fault or theirs) will end up 99% of the time in your defavor, sending you anywhere but on the right track (and don't even think you can push them away). Third, when an AI rams you and you get damaged, you lose the opportunity to get the corresponding star, even though you did nothing wrong. As a result, races against AI are an exercise in frustration, ruining the fun of the game.
Police chases are not better, the advantage they have is so huge that winning these stars is just a matter of luck (most of the time, you'll get caught in the first 20 seconds).
The world map is not only totally useless, it's much too big, meaning you can't see all available races even when fully zoomed out. And driving on it takes too much time. Also, I found one track without a start line, making it utterly useless, and another where the police apparently forgot they had to chase you (they were nowhere to be seen, at least that was an easy star ...).
That's not all : on my first "playthrough" (something like the first dozen tracks), things (especially regarding AI races) were not so bad. But there was a message ingame saying a beta was ongoing with an upcoming update that would reset your progress. No more information than that in the forums. Then (end of november I think), the game was updated 3 times, without a single update/note on the product page or the forums about what was being updated. At the end of the third update, sure enough, I lost my progess. Problem is (apart from the lack of communication) : this was supposed to be a finished product, not a fricking early access.
But worse : with this update, the races against AI, already frustrating as described above, became even worse. And also, all cars became magically unlocked (so, forget about getting the corresponding achievements for unlocking them), and I think all tracks on normal mode too. And the game stopped remembering what camera you prefer (top down or 3rd person), making you switch it every time (minor, but annoying).
In the end, I got something like (out of 400 for each mode) 335 stars in normal mode, and 75 in hardcore where I'm stuck because not enough stars to unlock next tracks. And I'm uninstalling, because every possibility of having fun is gone (getting stars now is just a matter of playing the same tracks ad nauseam hoping the AI will mess up).
You can stil have fun with time trials on normal mode, that's roughly 1/3 of what the game is supposed to be, but the overall mess tells me I can't recommend this game. A shame, because it could have actually been great :(
