The graphics received mixed feedback, with some users describing them as outdated and comparable to early 2000s or 90s standards, while others acknowledged improvements and realism for a 2015 release. Several noted the visuals feel low-quality or mobile-like, though a few appreciated the graphical simulation quality. Overall, the graphics are seen as a weak point needing significant updates for modern standards.
- “For the time this game came out it was ahead of its time. If this game gets a remastered 2023 version with heavily updated graphics, power upgrades, and visual customization, it would be on par with Forza and games alike.”
- “Totally playable, nice graphics and awesome simulation.”
- “Overall it's a realistic game with good graphics and physics. A definite 'try it you'll like it' if you have ever been at a stoplight and said to yourself 'I wonder what this thing will do?'”
- “The graphics would have been okay in 1995.”
- “Poor graphics, poor controls, cash grab tactics, broken physics, feels like a mobile game.”
