Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game is worse than it looks. Sounds are terrible, cars are too easy to drive, AI is stupid as heck, and there is no option to turn off assists. I recommend you save your money for another game instead of spending it on this crap.”
“This game is one of the worst creations ever made. You can't play with keyboard, you can't move camera, you can just choose 3 numbers on career, no custom paint scheme and why do I need an avatar? No possibility to create driver. Don't buy…”
