The gameplay is described as mediocre yet potentially enjoyable in short sessions, particularly for those who appreciate competitive racing mechanics. While the driving mechanics may take some getting used to, the game offers a unique blend of racing and environmental destruction that some players find engaging, despite its rough campaign progression and dated cutscenes. Overall, it can serve as a decent time killer, especially for fans of the genre.
“The campaign and tournament progression system is a bit rough, but the gameplay is competitive and fun, especially when you unlock the faster engine parts.”
“Gameplay = 9/10”
“In my opinion, this is the game that started the mechanic where you race and blow up the environments at the same time.”
“Gameplay gets boring quickly; the game is best enjoyed in short sessions.”
“It's up to you. If you're looking for a time killer that's kind of mediocre, you might enjoy it for a few hours or less if you get used to the driving mechanics. Otherwise, there are plenty of other games out there.”
“I played only 4-5 minutes of the gameplay. The cutscenes are boring, and the lip-sync in other languages isn't good. But hey, it's a 2006 game, so I was expecting that, and it doesn't bother me as much.”
