The game's story mode is criticized for being incoherent and disjointed, with players feeling like they are merely spectators rather than active participants in the narrative. Many reviews highlight the lack of meaningful character development and the confusing plot, which often feels like a mashup of other racing stories. While some players find enjoyment in the arcade racing mechanics, the overall consensus is that the story is shallow and poorly executed, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The story mode is where the game shines; it's like a motorway soap opera.”
- “The story and dialogues are a bit childish, but it gives you a reason to keep racing.”
- “I'm a big fan of Yu Suzuki's racing games, particularly OutRun 2, and this game shares a lot of features with that title, such as the ability to drift and slipstream, what it adds, however, is a neat manga/anime inspired story mode and the ability to upgrade your vehicles as you play.”
- “Obviously, the meat of the game lies in its story mode, and what the game actually offers you in this mode is incredibly incoherent and disjointed.”
- “You create a main character, you create a story for the said character and instead of letting the player appear in their shoes, you force them to play as a literal nobody?”
- “The story is boilerplate nonsense and the straight-line handling is a little weird, but drifting feels good.”
