Even for younger gamers, arguably who the game is really pitched at, there still isn’t really much to recommend here.

Poor visuals, terrible audio and a 'feel’ that is nothing short of unique fail to help this racer speed away from the grid, let alone be able to compete for podiums.

It's more to do with how many deaths you'll be able to take before you switch off and uninstall.

If the addition of a Y-axis is the best it can do, then that is a clear sign of how poor the rest of the game is.
