It's easy to pick up, but you can't just crash your way to the finish. You are going to need to work your way up the pack with style and grace. And a little bit of well-timed aggression, because the AI is very competitive! The main event is …

The graphics of the game are generally considered underwhelming, leading many potential players to overlook it. However, some reviewers suggest that with a graphical update, similar to the style of Neo Geo rally games, it could gain more recognition. While the simpler graphics allow for better performance on various PCs, the addition of visual enhancements like shadows and tire tracks would improve the overall experience.
“If you have played rally or off-road racing games in the past, especially on the sim side, you would enjoy this too. The simpler graphics can run better on more PCs, although some visual touches such as shadows or tire tracks would be nice as well.”
“Unfortunately, I think most people would look at the graphics of this game and pass it by.”
“If the developers went the extra mile and updated the graphics (let’s say roughly Neo Geo rally game style), I think it could really get the recognition it deserves!”

“Sweet techno/drum & bass soundtrack.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it feel monotonous after a short while.”

“The music is forgettable and doesn't enhance the overall experience; it feels like an afterthought.”

Players suggest that the gameplay could benefit from a "steal the screen" mechanic similar to that of Micro Machines, enhancing the experience of sharing a single screen.
“Even sharing one screen, it could function more like Micro Machines' style of 'steal the screen' gameplay.”
