Unfortunately, only a poorly implemented 1:1 copy of the mobile version of the Game is offered here. The controlled Vehicle automatically gives Gas and steers independently into Curves. Even after the Tutorial, I don't yet understand why you sometimes almost Brake on 0 when you're steering in only a little bit. You can totally forget the Default setting for the XBox 360 controller, because neither the Button for the Menu works nor one is occupied for the Boost. During the Race you can raise Money, which you can later invest in Upgrades and new "Cars." These new Flickers are so overpowering, though, that you only need To start races to Win. The Flicker steers independently ... The HUD display and graphics also show that the Developers made no Effort at all with the PC version. Not recommended even for WipeOut fans.

Despite my short Playing Time, I can't recommend the Game. In itself, it looks like an F-Zero for the PC, something similar I had hoped for, unfortunately for once not reading the Reviews, which turned out to be a Mistake. Particularly annoying as I didn't buy it in the Sale. £10 for the Ton. I have tried again today as an Update came, unfortunately nothing has been changed about the basic Problem. I like graphics and Sound very much, the Game runs on my Notebook on the integrated Intel HD 4000 in Full HD without Lags, I don't have to make an effort to do so. However, I can't say More positive about the Game. The Main Criticism, of course, is control. While my XEOX Pro Gamepad is detected and diminished in the Main Menu, I am also partially shown the correct buttons that I need to press on the Pad (E.g. B for Back), others don't work, like RB and LB, or trigger incorrect Features. But I could still live With it, in the Main Menu I find it even more pleasant to be able to use the Mouse. In the Race itself, however, you can clearly see that this Game is purely designed for touch Control. In the Tutorial, that became very clear. Boosten only goes when I KLICKE while driving on the appropriate Symbol other Side. With the Mouse. In a Racing Game controlled with Gamepad or Keyboard. The same applies to laying Mines. Now it doesn't matter if you have to control with the left and the Gampad and you have to use the Mouse on the right. It goes "kind of," but No one comes up with fun. I didn't try it with the Keyboard. The "Vehicle" hits itself, but it can't be done without steering (I tried that). In addition, it is not possible to adjust the Control of any one itself. I can only choose between Gamepad and Keyboard. Conclusion: Porting a race game clearly designed for touch control without adjusting the CONTROLS to the PC is not possible at all. With a controlled System adapted for the PC, it could be quite Fun, so it is guaranteed not.
