The graphics are considered somewhat dated and sparse, yet they effectively fulfill their purpose, evoking nostalgia for classic racing games like RC Pro-Am and Rock'n Roll Racing. However, the inclusion of real physics and enhanced visual elements, such as weather effects, adds a modern touch to the overall experience.
“The graphics are a little dated and the tracks are a little sparse, but they do the job.”
“Graphics and sound do the job.”
“Reminds me of the old classics RC Pro-Am on the NES and Rock 'n' Roll Racing on the SNES/Mega Drive, but with real physics and crisp new graphics including weather effects like fog!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively repetitive and unenjoyable, with some feeling that lowering the difficulty undermines the challenge rather than providing a viable solution to overpowering AI opponents.
“Way too grindy and repetitive to be fun. I guess I could've lowered the difficulty, but making the AI weak doesn't seem like a reasonable way to get past their overpowered cars.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the grinding mechanics to be frustratingly monotonous, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
