One of the Best Top-Down-Racing Games = Mantis Burn Racing®6 found this helpful

The game is not bad for a short-term blast but does not quite compete for quality over similar games such as the more polished top-down racers such as Reckless Racing, Circuit Superstars or Bang Bang Racing. Little Racers Street and Blaze Rush are also better value in my opinion. The game is well-presented, driving feels fluid and is generally enjoyable, AI is well implemented, it does not suffer from any noticeable bugs and the progress system is well paced overall. It also has a good upgrade system for your roster of four cars. Its main downside apart from the painfully slow load-times when accessing menus from the main title page or simply starting (a single-player!) race... is the lack of a time-trail / hot-lap mode with ghost car feature (made brilliantly by Little Racers Street and Reckless Racing). Additionally there is a very strange driving assist mechanic going on under-the-hood when you go round corners that is kinda like an invisible force pushing you round as you go. It just feels odd. So yeh, not a terrible game by any means... but you really need a time trial / hot-lap mode (with ghost cars of personal best times), along with near-instant load-screens, for a to…4 found this helpful
Nicely polished game in most areas... But the devs are clueless about optimisation. Navigating the menus causes big delays Loading up a level causes massive delays, big enough to call this game 'broken'1 found this helpful

The game itself is pretty good. The driving, the designs of the cars, sound and upgrades are all fine. The one thing that really drives me mad about this game though is the obscene amount of time wasted, waiting for their servers to connect to the game... And this is when playing Single Player, or even just going through menus!! There is NO need for the game to try to connect every time you change pages in the game! I've spent more time waiting for connection than I have spent actually PLAYING the game! If they removed the connection nonsense from the single player side of things, then I would actually enjoy this game, but it's too infuriating to enjoy when you spend up to two minutes waiting to get into a race, when the race can take less than that to play!
