While it may not have the polish or balance of other racing titles, its blend of outrageous crashes, over-the-top stunts, and destructible tracks make it a game that still stands out years later.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The core mode of the game has a nice variety of difficulty with the final races really pushing you to drive to your limits with well upgraded cars.
Steam Deck

10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing on the Steam Deck it is buttery smooth and feels great but I seem to encounter a bug where after winning a race and continuing to the next It doesn't let me accelerate, ending up being stuck at the starting line and forcing me to relaunch the game.
