Overall picking this game up for a couple dollars on sale was well worth the hour of fun I got out of it and if I really wanted to I think I could squeeze another couple hours out of it grinding cash to unlock the other cars and customization options.

Beautiful and perfect, this game has the most amazing driving game graphics I have ever seen.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 51 sampled reviews raised it
There really is nothing that could be done to improve on this aside from maybe adding yet more awesome synthwave tracks, but there is enough variety that you have to score upwards of 10,000 points in one go before you hear the entire soundtrack.
