This game gets boring pretty quick - The gameplay loop feels bland and generic. And there's no replay value. Why I don't reccomend it:

1) The driving blows. The physics engine feels primitive - there's no real sense of speed, inertia, or feedback with any car you drive. The controls are clunky, so pulling off anything fancy or fun (like a "drift", or weaving in between obstacles) feels more like a lucky accident, rather than a deliberate action.

I think the dev's were going for a simplistic "arcade" style of driving, but it is totally unrefined. The only way to drive decently is extremely carefully and conservatively, which isn't fun and doesn't fit the tone of this game. When the only action gameplay is driving, it should be a LOT more developed.

2) The story and rest of the game is pretty boring. Derivative, predictable, and just plain repetitive NPC encounters and commentary. You answer a bunch of prompts during cutscenes to balance your resources, and there's no real sense of exploration, or even choosing your own adventure. It feels like your choices have no real consequence on the ultimate outcome - which, without spoilers, is cheap and anti-climactic.

This would be fine if this game was just a few bucks or something, but it costs way more than that at the time of this review, and it's just a very underwhelming experience.
