The music aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while players appreciate the ability to play their own tracks and enjoy the visual effects that sync with the beat, some find the overall experience frustrating due to challenging controls and a lack of significant interaction between the music and the environment. The game allows for easy integration of custom songs, enhancing the casual racing experience, but some users feel that the music's impact on gameplay has diminished compared to earlier versions. Overall, it offers a unique blend of racing and music visualization, appealing to those who enjoy driving to their favorite tunes.
“Blaring my music, weaving through traffic at high speeds, the environment reacting to the beat, and so much of a visual overload that I forget I'm driving.”
“I especially like how the sky lights up in a thunderous way to the beat of my music.”
“Being able to seamlessly load in custom songs is an incredible feature.”
“Oh, and from what I can tell, there's no way to reverse, so if you hit a car at a bad angle and go into a wall, you're sitting there until you end the song or it ends on its own.”
“This game used to be called Audio Drive Neon and back then the music really changed the background, but now it doesn't seem to have much effect (other than it's nice to hear your own music while driving).”
“I also feel like the score could be kept in the GPS area (when applicable) and that the cars could have a few more interior lights that could change brightness/color based on the beat/pacing of the music.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising the aesthetics while criticizing the lack of depth and customization options. Although playing on "relax" mode can be enjoyable, many feel that the core gameplay lacks complexity and may not evolve significantly in the future.
“I know, the point of the game isn't about the cars, but some basic customization would be nice, especially since the core gameplay doesn't seem to be becoming more complex in the future, not that that's bad.”
“Gameplay on 'relax' mode is fun.”
“10/10 aesthetics, 2/10 gameplay.”
