“Could use some music (or just use your player of choice).”
“The music is weak (one track), but I'm quite sure you can play your own music.”
“The menu music does get repetitive sometimes; I hope eventually more gets added.”

The game offers high replayability due to its diverse selection of cars and the innovative randomly generated track pieces in endless mode. However, some players feel that replay value is diminished by the lack of collectible trophies reappearing after they have been obtained.

“There are lots of cars, and most levels are playable with any of them.”
“The randomly generated track pieces in endless mode is a brilliant idea and gives the game replayability.”
“The replay value is diminished because the collectible trophies don't reappear after you've collected them, even when replaying the level.”
“While there are lots of cars, most levels can be played with any of them, which reduces the incentive to replay.”
“The lack of variety in rewards makes it hard to find motivation for replaying levels.”
