Ramps, wandering routes, battered cars, and reckless opponents constantly tempt you away from clean lap times, while free purchases in the shop make extra vehicles and related content much easier to pick up. The handling is unmistakably old-school, yet the loose rules and crunchy collisions still make wrecking the field more entertaining than simply reaching the chequered flag.
