+ Great soundtrack, which I preferred over Ultimate Carnage's even though highly subjective which is "better", though can't go wrong with either.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Car physics are crunchy and satisfying. the modding community is active and includes small stuff like new additions to the base soundtrack all the way up to entire new maps. my one complaint is that you don't get full controller support off-rip, but the community has taken care of that as well. crashing is satisfying and in fact it's one of the two ways you build nitro (second is airtime). game allows for SPLITSCREEN CO-OP AND LAN PARTIES.
