The game is run through the series of events\challenges that are divided into four separate categories. Categories, tracks and vehicles are unlocked as player progresses throughout the game. After selecting the class (only the first class is enabled at the beginning) selection of events follows. At the start of the game number of events is limited but it increases in time depending mainly on player’s score. Unlocked events can be played an unlimited number of times and each time player can win points and money for the selected event.

The transition from the lower to the higher class is achieved by winning in the special boss tournament event. Besides the players, various AI simulated drivers engage in events and challenges. All AI drivers are simulated according to their parameters and settings. Computer opponents can progress and improve their vehicles in a way similar to the player's. This provides an additional reality aspect for the whole game. For each category there is an official rank roster which shows the current positions for all the drivers.

The player must achieve victories on a regular basis to be consistently at the top and earn the money to maintain his vehicle and save some for a new one. All upgrades come with price tags, which rise depending on the class car type.

Standard types of events/challenges are races, knock-outs and tournaments. Some events have prerequisites that have to be met before participating in the race (specific class, car type, car color, type of weapon allowed...).

Good game but lacks bots in LAN or any split-screen functionality, making it a lonesome, short-lived ride.

6/10

Sure. But there are no bots to fill slots in multiplayer. So, unless you get a full compliment of players (or thereabouts), the game doesn't reach its potential. Moreover, for those that want to LAN with a couple of friends (a key to a game's longevity), they're only racing with a couple of cars on the track. The recently released Mini Motors Racing EVO made the same mistake and has received gamer ire as a result. Another, Fireburst, too, made the same mistake and disappeared into the ether as a result (despite having split-screen functionality).

PC gaming is no longer the basement dwelling loner pursuit it once was perceived as. With large HD TV's de rigueur nowadays, people use their PC's like beefed up consoles more and more. Thus, local multiplayer should always be catered for, if possible.

Protip:
Racing games, especially, should always have bot support in all modes, even if only as a toggleable option. Great racers of yesteryear (the Super Mario Karts, Diddy Kong Racings etc) would have been nothing without coöp versus the computer. Online is good, but it should never become the be-all and end-all when it comes to multiplayer functionality.

Well, what have we here? A Croatian indie vehicular combat racer. Sounds like a winning combination, doesn't it? Well, let's find out in this review, shall we?(char limit :/) Graphics: 9.5 This game delivers. The graphics are big budget quality. The car reflections, smoke and dust effects look great, and it is very pleasing to the eye. My PC ran it without problems. Cars take damage and the fender benders and crashes really leave their mark on the cars, however this has no effect on car performance…
