    Steep learning curves aside, the payoff is totally worth it, in a rewarding game that really gets its hooks in.

    Absolute Drift is a simple arcade game with problematic physics that ruin a good idea.

It is very challenging at first, but with enough practice and repetition you feel yourself getting a little better. That is where the rewarding feeling comes from. But I wouldn’t say that the challenge is truly natural, some of the physics aren’t the most intuitive, but you can eventually adapt to them. Unfortunately the content just doesn’t really hook you that much. The race types and challenges tend to get a little repetitive, and there isn’t much pull to keep you going. The minimalist graphics are fine and do the job, but when the graphics are minimalist, the content is minimalist, and the gamer play is minimalist, it leaves a lot to be desired. The same company made Art of Rally, which was a far superior game. You can have a couple hours of fun with this game, but that’s about the max enjoyment. Full Review »

While this game certainly has its frustrating moments, it by no means is a bad racing game. Once you get the hang of this game's controls, you'll start to appreciate Absolute Drift's charm. It isn't flashy. It isn't stylish. But for what it does (drifting), it does well. While it isn't very exciting and doesn't have much depth, I still find myself coming back to this charming little title every once in a while. Full Review »
