87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I had a good time grinding achievements; it’s surprisingly relaxing and addictive once you get into the rhythm.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 80s theme gives it a cool nostalgic touch with old-school cars, music, and visuals that fit perfectly.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The biggest addition that I could see was that there is a lot more voice acting now, but even there, not every line has audio.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The control scheme and viewpoint are easy to adjust to what you prefer - I did this mainly in 1st person and with a controller, though using a controller for the map was a little awkward.
