User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Fun for All Ages
As retired folks, I find this game very amusing. Still a lot to learn on it, but we do okay with it.
5 Stars A Great Game for Mario Kart Lovers…
I was looking for an alternative to Mario Kart that wasn’t as expensive… this game is equally as fun with some very cool additional features specific to the NASCAR world. The ‘in the zone’ feature is very fun along with the boosts. I have only had it for a few days but have found it very fun and still pretty challenging. The cartoon nature really gives it the good ‘ol video game feel – which I particularly prefer – why did we all of the sudden get so caught up on wanting our games to look like reality – if I wanted to drive a real car and be held to the limitation of reality, I would just drive to the grocery store. Being able to launch rockets, throw oil, and hit boosters are some of the fun treats that this fun, affordable game offers. I definitely recommend!
4 Stars Great for the whole family
Easy to learn, but still challenging enough to stay interested. My kids love it so we enjoy playing it together. I would definitely recommend it to others.
1 Star way under quality
Got this to complement MySims Racing, an amazingly fun game, but this game was just amazingly dumb, with no sound and music options, which means you have to suffer listening to midi sounding electric “music”…and you wont be able to turn down the 2 or 3 primitive exclamation type sound effects that are repeating continuously. Graphics are cheap, undone, almost 2D.
Plainly unbearable for the musically and visually inclined. Doesn’t worth $10.
5 Stars Lots of fun
I love this game and play it often, graphics are good , overall good game
