Arcade Racer.
There are no fancy tweaking settings or car tweaking, just pick a car, the one with four bald tires, the spray-painted number "8" and thats it.
Starting off the game, it begins kind of easy, the race is fast
you have the option of manual transmission or automatic transmission.
The difference is the auto is easy and tends to help when turning sharp corners and rather than fiddling around with gear shifting and slowing down, auto is quick.
However, manual transmission offers a higher performance, faster and better handling around curvers, that is if you can get the hang of it.
The cars are fast, there are no crashes, no cars flipping over and crashing.
But there are glitches, if you swerve around recklessly and hit something, such as a guardrail, you will fly ahead or if someone hits you from behind, your car will jump a hundred feet ahead, sometimes, sliding in the air, or powersliding a finishing lead. This glitch might come in handy once you get the hang of it (ford focus worked for me) and the game uses it too. Works both offline and online.
1. One. The game is fast, cars are fast, non-stop.
2. Two. Because the game is fast and if your in the front and you slow down, in seconds you will be last
3. Three. Higher the race level, the more magical your opponents become. In one race, I was beaten by a sliding car going sideways to the finish line. It slid sideways on two curves and passed me, made another curve and magically hopped to the finish line.
4. Four. The track is designed to inhibit your progress, tire grabbing mud puddles, rocks, everything is designed to impede the player not the game opponents.
5. Multiplayer is few, lacking, thankfully the online achievements are few but require lots of time... waiting for someone else to join or waiting for someone to host a game.
