Many users find the current missions and quests frustratingly difficult, detracting from the overall enjoyment, and suggest that a more engaging narrative could enhance the gameplay experience significantly.

As they navigate through various racing challenges, players uncover a conspiracy involving a powerful racing syndicate that threatens the underground racing scene.

    • “Don't recommend it at all... at first, it forces you to play some annoying tutorial matches with a boring storyline, then when you do all those, they tell you here are some giant files to download, and if you don't, you can't continue playing... the worst car racing game I have ever played.”
