“Graphics are great, and the gameplay is pretty fun, but I can't justify the price tag unless this game gets fixed.”
“Good graphics, mostly.”
“There are no graphics or video settings; at minimum, I need to have a resolution or aspect ratio setting for this game as I have an ultrawide monitor and the game will only stretch to its standard 16x9 image to 21x9 full screen.”
“Tons of input lag, no video settings, subpar driving physics, graphics that match a mobile game, nonexistent crash physics, no licensed manufacturers, tutorial with several minutes of unskippable dialogue.”
“Very disappointed in the production of this game; hard to control cars, no options that you can customize when it comes to your graphics or your controller.”

The gameplay of this drag racing title has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing its lack of realism and technical issues such as inconsistent steering sensitivity and lag during races.

“The gameplay is fun enough, but the audio is rough.”

“However, with how basic the gameplay is, I can't justify anyone purchasing this game for any more than $10.”
“The sounds cut in and out, steering is way too sensitive at times then very vague at others, and the gameplay will run fine through most races then suddenly be laggy to a point of being unplayable.”
