the game is not to bad. It's arcade for sure. Driving cars I found mostly enjoyable. The physics on the quads piss me off and make me not want to play this game. Imagine driving a 700KM stage on something that should represent a quad but this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flies more off his quad then something else. Then he takes his time to get up, wipe of the sand, walk like he's going for icecream and continue his race. In the meantime you see the A.I on the quad putting along taking you over.
