  • The game successfully evokes nostalgia for fans of the original, with improved graphics and some enjoyable mini-games.
  • The racing aspect is fun and engaging, providing a satisfying experience for players who enjoy racing games.
  • Some mini-games, like the mail sorting and apple harvest, have been well-received and maintain the charm of the original.
  • A significant amount of content from the original game is missing, including many beloved mini-games, which disappoints long-time fans.
  • The game feels short and can be completed in under four hours, making the price seem unjustified for the amount of content offered.
  • There are numerous bugs and performance issues, including input lag and audio problems, which detract from the overall experience.
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is criticized for being overly short and simplified, often taking less than an hour to complete, which frustrates players who wish to access mini-games without fully engaging with the narrative. Many reviewers found the storyline to be dull and lacking depth, especially compared to the original game, leading to a sense of nostalgia but overall disappointment in its execution. Despite some enjoyable elements, the brevity and cuts to content left players feeling that the game does not provide sufficient value for its price.

    • “Under 4 hours, I completed the entire car and went through the whole story (which has been cut down compared to the original), but the game gave me a nostalgic feeling. I enjoyed it; all in all, it's a nice game if you don't compare it to the original.”
    • “Essentially, it is broken down like this: you follow a story, where you navigate through different scenes.”
    • “The story is short, simple, and sweet, and can last you as little as an hour.”
    • “I didn't bother to play the whole game because the slowness of the story and action really got me frustrated.”
    • “But as far as the story mode goes, this game is rough, and frankly, boring.”
    • “What we are left with is 9 minigames and a very short story that you can beat within 30 minutes.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising nostalgic elements and new mechanics like diving suits and teleporters, while others criticize the overall experience as lacking depth and being too short, with the main story lasting under an hour and only a few mini-games available. Many users feel the price does not justify the limited gameplay time, which totals around 2-4 hours for completionists. Overall, while there are improvements in visuals and certain mechanics, the gameplay experience is seen as degraded compared to the original.

    • “But it also adds in new mechanics like a diving suit so you can move through water, sliding walls that you must navigate through, minecarts that drive you to new parts of the map, and teleporters.”
    • “While there is content in the game to get your money's worth back, I still think it's way too expensive. The racing is vastly improved, but the main story is less than an hour of gameplay.”
    • “There are around 9 mini-games, and that's really the gameplay.”
    • “While there is content in the game to get your money's worth back, I still think it's way too expensive. I'd prefer 20, I could live with 30, but 40 is too much because while racing is vastly improved, the main story is less than an hour of gameplay and they have cut as much as 18 mini-games. I've honestly can't remember most of them.”
    • “It is a clear visual improvement from the original game, but the gameplay aspect of it has been degraded just like everything else.”
    • “It's 400kr (40.44€/46.63$) for less than 2 hours of gameplay unless you want to get everything, which adds maybe 2-4 hours.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received positive feedback for their clear and fresh 3D presentation, effectively integrating racing and cinematic elements. While the graphical style pays homage to the original game, it has been notably upgraded to meet modern standards, enhancing the overall experience while maintaining a sense of nostalgia. Players appreciate the effort put into improving the visuals, resulting in a decent and contemporary look.

    • “The full-fledged 3D graphics are a bold move; the picture looks clear and fresh, and the integration of racing and cinematic inserts impressed me very much.”
    • “The graphical style and quality closely resemble the original game, capturing the essence of its time while adapting to modern screens.”
    • “I appreciate the effort put into the upgraded graphics; the game looks pretty decent, runs smoothly, and feels up to date.”
    • “A graphical style and quality that very much resembles the original game, at the time it was made, on the screens that were modern then.”
    • “Even with improved graphics!”
    • “You will also encounter some of the same games from the first version and have a nostalgia trip but with better graphics.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with reports of buggy achievements, poor performance, and missing content compared to the original. Players experience significant frame rate drops and stuttering, even on high-end hardware, leading to an overall frustrating experience.

    • “Buggy achievements, bad performance, and stripped content compared to the original.”
    • “In several places in the game, especially during races, I experience 20-40 fps with tons of stuttering, even with a Ryzen 7 5800X and GTX 1080.”
    • “Some performances are better than others, but it’s generally just awful to listen to anything the characters have to say.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted through its quirky vehicle designs and well-crafted world and character models, but players feel that the pacing is sluggish, making it difficult to fully enjoy the comedic elements. Overall, while there are moments of humor, the experience is marred by the need to endure lengthy sections to reach them.

    • “The vehicles are interesting and funny to look at; the world-building and 3D character models are well done.”
    • “Funny enough, that exact sentence is something the developers should say as well.”
    • “Very funny, where is the rest of the spill?”

    • “Buggy achievements, bad performance, and stripped content compared to the original.”
    • “It is still a bit buggy.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a strong selection of iconic tracks from the original, which fans appreciate, but the absence of music during races has received mixed reactions, with some finding it acceptable while others may have preferred a more dynamic audio experience.

    • “It has a lot of the iconic old music that the original had.”
    • “They don't bother with music of any kind throughout the race, which was just okay.”
