"It's really good!"

Not much to it, but a great little racing game all the same. I love the "mini" feel to it and the very English set-up. Humour was great, and the kill-cam is quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in a racing game. Made me almost want to take my Astra down the M4. Almost.
Problems? Well it's already been said that slowing down even for a moment completely kills your momentum. The better cars need better acceleration, the Bugatti in particularly is slower than a kid's trike to get up to speed, and this just adds frustration. Also the cars don't seem to have different handling, it's just their speed which changes.
It can get a bit laggy too, and placement for the start is unfair - why do I start by facing north and the other cars all face the right way? Plus, not sure if it happens a lot, but one of the cars on the M4 Heathrow Interchange started straight away, leaving the rest of us waiting on the start for the lights. Seemed a little unfair!
Still these are all minor problems and didn't take away the general fun of the game. I had a blast playing it - make an update with more cars, more tracks and some more fun stuff, and you've got a classic.
