Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Combined with AI opponents that often feel rubber-banded or unrealistically aggressive, the campaign becomes more of a grind than an enjoyable climb through increasingly exciting events.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
That's a shame because there is even a split-screen mode so it could have been very fun for some couch gaming sessions.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack and general pace of races aim for lighthearted energy, which can resonate with players who simply want a quick, uncomplicated motorcycle racer and are willing to overlook its flaws.
