Gameplay

Plays a bit like F-Zero but without any personality.
Getting knocked around wildly shakes the camera.
You have unlimited ammo but there's a lengthy cooldown.
Controls are responsive but it's a bit boring.
Draw distance is short so you can't see much of the track.
Powerups don't seem to do anything.

3 / 5

Level Design

The tracks are decent but the game seemingly has no structure. You just start the race and it ends randomly and then another race starts.

1 / 5

Theme

It's a combat racing game. With a bunch of Mad Max-ish S&M characters. Not appealing.

2 / 5

Art Style

The cars look great. Performance is very good. The tracks and backgrounds are quite boring. Not a fan of the Mad Max style.

2 / 5

Audio

Music is rock-ish but it's weird because it continuously plays even when the race ends, when you shop for upgrades, and even into the next race. It just feels like one continuous games. It just feels weird.
