I wish I could recommend this game to more people, but there are just too many small issues weighing it down. First though the pros: - Game controls beautifully - Drifting mechanics are clean, fun, and can make each race a complex, engaging endeavour to keep your turbo boost for as long as possible - Tracks are fun and uniquely themed And the unfortunate cons: - Performance, especially in Cup mode, is god awful. Sometimes it outright freezes, other times it slows to a crawl, which makes keeping your drift and maintaining first place a chore rather than a challenge - No option to reverse - if you get stuck on a wall or an obstacle, you have to drift away from it rather than just backing up - Game has a camera tilt when you drift which can cause motion sickness. You can turn it off, but the game will automatically turn it back on every time you boot up the game. This is especially annoying when it remembers your best times in Time Trial but not your previous settings. Overall there is a great game here with fun mechanics, great track design and enjoyable gameplay that is sadly overshadowed by poor performance and strangely missing features. If you're just playing Time Trial, then maybe it's okay? But you can't unlock anything without playing Cup mode, and with such poor performance issues, it just isn't worth it imo

This game reminds me so much of a Tamagotchi. It's an app that you check on throughout the day, and the more miis you add the more you get out of it. It's why I bought it digitally rather than physically, and I still haven't regretted that purchase.
