For a game that you can jump in and out of while waiting for your friend to get online or if you have a spare 30 mins to kill now and then it works well but apart from that it's really nothing to write home about. The gameplay itself is your typical arcade racer with you spending 99.9% of your time pressing just two buttons - RT and LT (R2 and L2 on Playstion) You simply jump in and play as many races as you want and that's about it, with the only other thing to do being 'customise' your cars and by customise I mean add a few childish stickers or change the colour.

Rain/splash effects are noticeable and nice to see with the HDR effects of the sun shining brightly on my TV. The graphics are good on Xbox Series X but not exceptional. However the progression is non existent with zero upgrades for your car, story is something that doesn't exist here, and you find yourself just going from one race to another mindlessly until your done and move on to another game. Absolutely nothing stands out here, now that's not necessary a bad thing because there is no real massive faults with the game. Average is a word that was invented for games like Dirt 5.
