Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Plus, the player’s inventory is blown up to the max, so even on easy mode, you won’t be able to fill even a fifth of it.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Driving mechanis IS pretty good for me (using controller, mostly 1st person perspective), nice engine sound (for the muscle car, the others do not matter for me ;), pretty good small stories, a decent main story and an atmosphere resembling Vanishing Point vibes.
