It’s fun, but I don’t love it as much as I expected to. Possibly because the handling hasn’t quite clicked yet. I get it and I’m doing handbrake turns all over the place, but I can’t quite feel it in the same way I feel the cars in OutRun 2006 or Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. I just don’t feel as connected. And I hit the edges of the road and come to a full stop far too often. Which is my fault, obviously, but adds some frustration.

And it could really do with more races. With the multiple routes through the city it should be easy to add a whole host of new events that take you down specific routes. As it is, after the Easy course is over, Medium and Hard levels just open up the whole city and let you get on with it. I haven’t won a race on Hard yet, but once I do I’m worried I won’t feel the need to go back and improve things.

Still, it’s lovely to have pure arcade racing with blue skies and small cars sitting on my hard drive. Maybe I shouldn’t be hammering this to death. Maybe I should just do a race or two every few days
