The basic premise of the game is great but some of the execution is a bit off. Everything works, keystrokes are executed, but it is a bit sterile. Keyboard works just fine. Not a whole lot to do other than give the gas, the break or steer out of the way of things in your way. Your car takes damage when you do this so you need to be selective as to what you must hit if you want to finish the race.
Graphics do the job.
Nothing spectacular but all the cars that your are driving or racing against look pretty good. The other cars are a bit blocky. No real pop-up draw ins. Buildings look reasonable and the pedestrians look pretty good. I was able to run at higher resolutions without any problems.
