Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 22, 2026)

Cars, boats and planes across a vast map of the United States make this arcade racer feel like a road trip, scoring 71.9.

👍 Strengths

82 reviews find it fun and addictive, and some say hours vanish while cruising. 56 value the freedom to switch between vehicles and race types on a huge open map. Content Volume ranks 207th of 1351. 45 like the visuals, with a few praising wet roads in the rain and a flexible photo mode. Multiplayer ranks 200th of 642.

👎 Where it falls short

69 reviews dislike the handling, saying the physics feel simplified and cars slide like toys with little weight or grip. Gameplay ranks 815th of 1396. 28 say it gets boring quickly, with repetitive events, empty roads and some disciplines that feel like filler. 19 are not impressed by the graphics, describing rough city models and visuals that look dated at high settings. Visuals & Sound ranks 1070th of 1249, and Tech & Support ranks 994th of 1399. Some also mention a heavy grind and an interface they find awkward.
