More clarification in sense of visualization would be helpful.

Often you will hit a wall and destroy your car, because you thought you can crash it. And the Third A) It's not clear, which things you can crash to gain power - some obstacles are crashable others are not. Instead the car jiggles like wobble pudding especially if you have to correct the drifting angle. You have never the impression, that you are controlling the car. The only chance to get rid of this, is to mute the sound channel. I know music is a matter of taste but I can't imagine that there is anyone out there, which likes this soundtrack (some kind of speedy dubstep). All in all it could be a good racing game, if there weren't 3 terrible A's (A = Awful -) First A: the very very very awful soundtrack. The graphics is solid and the framerate is smooth in most cases. The graphics is solid and the framerate RRO is unfortunately not a Burnout Paradise - it's a mixture between Split/Second Velocity and Blur. RRO is unfortunately not a Burnout Paradise - it's a mixture between Split/Second Velocity and Blur. Overall, a solid package which excels in all departments, and it's something different to the typical cohort of arcade racing games. I play a lot of racing games and it's such a joy when one comes across something so simple and different to the majority of other racing games. I'm really impressed with the overall package.

From the Burnout-style 'frag attack' (where you take out as many opponents as you can within a time limit) to time trial (similar to TrackMania games), 'drift attack' (earn points by drifting) and the standard racing, there really is something for everyone regardless of their skill or experience with racing games. Very straightforward, very simple, very fun, appropriately challenging and yet still rewarding since the points you earn during racing go towards ranking you up and unlocking new tracks and cars. What I'm trying to get across is that this is a no-nonsense game. You can gain powershot nitrous by drifting, taking down opponents or by boosting through some specific scenery (e.g. The power meter also adds an interesting element. So no matter how you want to play the game, you will have fun doing so because there is a car for everyone. The balance of cars is good too, with varying performance in handling, drifting, top speed and acceleration. However, if you are a racing veteran you will still have plenty of fun mastering the satisfying drifting or outrunning your opponents with razor-sharp precision cornering.

The fact that the controls are VERY simple (no manual or anything) and the linear tracks make it easy for anyone to play since there isn't an emphasis on precision. You know when you've done well and when you've done bad, and you get what you deserve accordingly. The AI isn't too easy but not impossible either. Also, the whole game is only 1.6GB! That is extremely efficient given the amount of content. The pacing, the soundtrack, the user interface, the graphics, the driving physics, game modes and its sheer simplicity combined with a very user-friendly and pick-up-and-play-yet-still-challenging experience make it one of the most accessible, fun and also fairly innovative racing games on the market.

Cars handle differently, there is almost no frustration because you don't have to restart every time you crash into the smallest object (but you do if you plainly drive into a wall) and it's generally just so much fun. Graphics and lighting are phenomenal (except for shadows and texture detail at some points), the (fictional) cars are good-looking, there is a track editor (which can be used to create and play custom tracks online as well), user interface is very minimalistic and modern (so you focus on the game than a load of HUDs) and the difficulty level is practically perfect. Other than that, this game couldn't really be improved.

I was expecting this game to be average and get boring very quickly, but with this level of all-round quality I'm struggling to think of I was expecting this game to be average and get boring very quickly, but with this level of all-round quality I'm struggling to think of anything wrong with it! Yes, it may be similar to some other games and there is no doubt that it's lacking in variety, but come on.
