The verdict
A gorgeous, content-rich open-world arcade racer set in Britain with great seasons and cars, but now delisted and often broken by Xbox login and crash issues. Skip it if you need a guaranteed working copy.
Great for
Arcade racing fans who love relaxed cruising, car collecting and scenic seasonal open worlds
Main risk
Forced Xbox login or launch crashes may stop the game working, and it can't be bought on Steam.
