You get 3 game modes, the main one of which is Adventure. In that mode you create a character and take part in one large tournament, where every racer can pick between 3 different classes of vehicle. You can't really pick the actual cars. Each vehicle class has different car models depending on which club you represent, but, as far as I can tell, there's no actual difference in how they handle.

The three classes you pick from are: Standard Car, Sports Car, and ATV. And only the Sports Car is really worth choosing, because the other two are not fast enough. In fact, the Standard Car is absolutely worthless because it has worse stats then the Sports Car across the board. Even Grip is better with the Sports Car, which doesn't make any sense.

The steering is way too loose, but you can get accustomed to it. Except for ATVs, which do have a more normal steering, but they're so slow, you'll never win a race with them. Just pick Sports Car every time.

The tracks are kinda interesting because they have traffic (which will constantly get in the way) and sometimes let you choose different paths, but the design can be very confusing. A lot of the times there are places that seem driveable, but are actually walled off. One track has this place where the road just casually proceeds into a wall, and you're supposed to find this tiny gap on the right, and it didn't only confuse me, all the other cars hit the wall as well.

Before every race you can purchase upgrades, which last only for that race, and then during the race you can pick up money that you can then use to buy better upgrades. It does provide some incentive to keep playing.

Finally, I found the graphics and music to be pretty decent.

I think, if this was a game I had as a kid, I would've played the hell out of it.
