    • “The core gameplay is boosting and there's so many ways for you to boost your car, one of which is by pulling a stunt mid-air and drifting.”
    • “This game has a drifting mechanic where you can hold a button to slide around turns and get a potential boost out of it.”

  • music

    54% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The game's story unfolds through two branching campaigns filled with nostalgic 90s-themed missions and secret objectives, offering a variety of entertaining and quirky challenges. While the missions and "gauntlet" mode provide engaging progression and rewards, some players find certain difficulty spikes frustrating and suggest improvements or removals. Overall, the rich content and hidden secrets encourage continued play and exploration.

    • “The game relies heavily on old school nostalgia; when the race starts, the announcer says 'this was filmed in front of a live studio audience.' Some missions have you picking up pogs, PS1s, VHS players, and so on, which is quite cute.”
    • “There's a number of secret missions that can be unlocked by fulfilling certain objectives in other missions, and they're always hinted at via clues.”
    • “The 90s tour at first seems like just an ordinary mission mode but it has so many secrets and unlockables that there is just a ton of incentive to keep playing.”
    • “The game has two campaigns; one is like a tree structure, so you beat this mission and unlock two more missions, but then you get stuck on one mission.”
    • “I also feel some missions are kind of unnecessary difficulty spikes.”
