The verdict
A huge, scenic open-world arcade racer with a cheesy story, but Ubisoft shut down the servers and revoked licenses. It now runs only via a fan launcher, so skip it if you want official support.
Great for
Players who love cruising a massive scaled-down USA and are fine using the community TCU launcher
Main risk
Official servers are shut down and the game is delisted, so it can't be bought or played officially
