“this game sucks ass, its full of glitches it's borderline unplayable most of the time. you get softlocked alot and its annoying ,and if you hit a really sharp edge your entire car will break in two seconds.”
“The game is nice in concept, but in reality, it's extremely dull. I get that the crappy handling and such are a part of the experience, but this is so dull, that it doesn't feel intentional.”
