Picked this up for $20 and played through the first season and a bit of the 2nd. At first, like the demo, wasn't really feeling it. Seemed gimmicky, but it's definitely growing on me.
Game is kind of hard and there's no difficulty levels (wtf, you have to have difficulty levels in a racing game). But I realized that is part of the design. The game wants you to keep replaying the tracks until you learn where all the power play triggers are so you can A) activate them at the right time against the opponents and B) know how to dodge them yourself. The more you do a race the more you figure out and the better you do. It can be frustrating because you can go from 1st to 6th 5 mins into a race on the 3rd lap, but it's also kind of exciting because you can go from 6th to 1st 5 mins into the race in the 3rd lap. Definitely giving me a wipeout feel.
The starting cars feel like shit though. A lot of times I start drifting headfirst even when I don't want to drift because the cars are so damn heavy. Does the driving feel get better as you get better cars?
I know demi liked this, but did anyone else play it? What did you guys think?
