The story aspect of the game is not clearly defined, as players focus more on the gameplay mechanics and challenges, such as the frustrating experience of towing vehicles that can lead to chaotic and unpredictable situations.

I'm not even sure what happened, but both vehicles were stuck together and bounced all over the screen, in and out of trees, upside down, right side up, backwards and forwards.”
