Once you are in there makes it addictive. The gameplay is appropriate for a challenging Arcade Racer. Which means, after an acclimatization period the races go well out of hand.
The graphics are typical Rockstar Rage engine fare. Not so glamorous, but stylish. The city is full of people and densely crowded roads, which is why there will be clashes at the beginning frequently. Also, it is day or night.
But the most ingenious is the soundtrack that animates me often to continue playing.
Rock, hip hop, indie, electro, hard rock, techno. And this is not mainstream tooting from other racing games. You can choose between music tracks, while driving back and forth switch and create your own playlist. The music is also typical Rockstar style.
In any case, from me a clear Kauempfehlung for those who do not shy away from a challenging Arcade Racer.
