    Everything about this game is amazing, the cars, the gameplay, the music, the graphics. It's a beautiful experience to come home and play this after getting crushed at work. Just sit down, crank up the music and rip it down the corners

    good
    Not recommended Jun 29, 2026
    Whilst i can appreciate the dedication to making this an accurately retro racing game the overly agressive rubberbanding, slow acceleration,sluggish understeery handling and lack of content and progression leave me wanting more and stop me enjoying the game unfortunately. It runs well on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop though.
