Xtreme Club Racing

Even for an arcade racer, this game is pretty unfun. There are four worlds, each containing six races set in slightly different terrains. However, they all feel the same. Every race starts on a hill, and you make your way to the bottom while collecting coins and stars. Coins can be used to upgrade vehicles, while stars determine your end-of-race rating. Speaking of upgrades, all vehicles feel and drive the same. Each one can be upgraded in "Nitro," "Power," and "Handling," with each upgrade costing 12 coins. However, upgrades don't feel particularly necessary, nor do they make a significant difference in gameplay. The track design is pretty poor. I couldn't find a camera angle that let me see where the track was going, which often led to me crashing into walls. Not that it mattered— the AI had no clue either, and I still finished in first place most of the time, though that didn’t feel rewarding. The game lacks graphical settings, though at least the audio can be adjusted. The sound design is basic—nothing noteworthy. If you're aiming for 100% completion, I’d recommend picking it up on sale or in a bundle. Otherwise, the €7 price tag is far too steep.

It's an arcade racer, and if you set your expectations extremely low you'll have a good time. Tracks are short, music is alright, and there are upgrades to keep things interesting. Unfortunately all of the tracks feel pretty much identical. Still, I had some fun with it.

This is some wild jank stuff right here, but on a sale I got it for less than a dollar and that was with tax included. Getting all the achievements in one go was also mad easy since you just need 2 out of 3 stars on all the tracks and you don't even need to be in first to get a solid result as long as you get enough pickups (seriously, being able to get them all in under an hour and that's with me getting distracted with stuff here and there). Upgrades felt... eh outside of nitro, and once you get the few that are there you can ignore any coins, freeing up your route to the score pickups. Definitely not the worst racing game I've played, but holy crap the big truck commercial music I heard in the trailers... it was whiplash to hear that it was actually its soundtrack and I'm saying this in the funniest feeling way possible.
