    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as outdated, reminiscent of early racing titles, and plagued by significant rendering issues where map elements frequently disappear during gameplay. Players have noted that these glitches can temporarily be resolved by using the car's nitro boost, which triggers the graphics to render more quickly, but this is only a temporary fix. Overall, the game's visual performance is considered subpar, especially when compared to modern racing games.

    • “The graphics are reminiscent of classic racing games, evoking a sense of nostalgia for titles like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.”
    • “The game's graphics have a unique charm, but there are noticeable glitches that can disrupt the experience.”
    • “Despite the graphical issues, the vibrant visuals and dynamic environments create an engaging atmosphere.”
    • “Very old graphics which makes me think this came out around the time Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit came out, as most racing games no longer have a story.”
    • “Now the biggest issue as far as running this game on the current hardware that I have is that the map's graphics, walls, structures, and scenery seem to disappear at will. It almost seems like the game is drawing the stuff on the map on the go.”
    • “Leaving this game as it is with the graphics glitchy - it looks like the whole city got hit by an atomic bomb.”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is reminiscent of classic Need for Speed titles, set in a unique version of Los Angeles, but suffers from significant issues, including crashes during cutscenes and compatibility problems with newer hardware. While it may appeal to some players, particularly those who enjoy retro racing experiences, its technical shortcomings and lack of updates make it less competitive against modern racing games.

    • “It reminds me of a lot of Need for Speed kind of gameplay set in the creator's version of LA.”
    • “However, you're welcome to give my gameplay a look sometime to see if it may be worth your interest, or if you're like me and it came as an extra in a bundle and is just sitting in your Steam library. Give it a look and see if you may want to give it a try.”
    • “Some of the creators that are still around are probably very aware of the universal issues with different hardware and the game's compatibility issues with newer Windows, but they do not feel it's something they must address to compete with the current market of newer racing games that have nicer graphics and gameplay.”
    • “You can get to the frustrating gameplay, but the cutscenes crash the game.”
    • “It reminds me of a lot of Need for Speed-style gameplay set in the creator's version of LA.”
    • “However, you're welcome to give my gameplay a look sometime to see if it may be worth your interest, or if you're like me and it came as an extra in a bundle and is just sitting in your Steam library.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story revolves around the protagonist's quest to recover his stolen car, providing a narrative backdrop to the racing gameplay. While the graphics are outdated, reminiscent of older titles, the game still offers a solid and engaging storyline despite some gameplay challenges.

    • “Otherwise, a solid game with a decent story.”
    • “The protagonist sets out to find his stolen car, and so a story unfolds.”
    • “Very old graphics make me think this game came out around the time Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was released, as most racing games no longer have a story.”
    • “Sadly, due to the fact I was having to drive with a keyboard, my hand started to cramp, so I could no longer effectively win races and could not progress in the story.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features catchy, standard dance tracks that may feel generic and repetitive, leading to a quick familiarity with the soundtrack. While some players appreciate the upbeat nature, others find it lacks originality and depth.

    • “The music for each race is catchy and features pretty standard dance tracks, whether they're real tracks or composed specifically for the game.”
    • “The soundtrack is engaging, and you'll experience all of it fairly quickly.”
    • “The music being played per race is catchy but feels like pretty standard dance tracks; I'm not sure if they are real dance tracks or just composed by a random person.”
    • “If you want to play it, just emulate RPM tuning and you're done; it's the same game with a poor soundtrack, just that it actually starts up.”
    • “And the soundtrack - you'll hear all of it pretty quickly.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have reported occasional graphics glitches that affect stability, suggesting that some tinkering may be necessary to improve performance. Overall, while stability is generally acceptable, these graphical issues can detract from the experience.

    • “The only issue is the graphics glitches, which I mentioned earlier. I'm going to see if I can tinker with that.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I've experienced several bugs that disrupt gameplay, leading to frustrating moments.”
