The verdict
A free, addictive time-attack racer with 65 tracks, endless community maps and run-anywhere performance. Skip it if you hate repeated restarts or don't want to fight setup problems and the free-account limits.
Great for
Players who like replaying tracks to shave time, chasing medals and records, on any PC including low-end
Main risk
White screen on launch or account/online problems can stop you playing at all
