    VERDICT:
    Dust n Wheels is a really good racing game that has a lot neat touches to keep you playing. The time of day when you play the tracks keeps changing everytime you start a race and it progresses as you race. The cars handle wonderfully, they dont handle like nfs paybay levels of dumbed down but not like PC2 levels of unforgiving, it's just the right balance. The sound design is also very well done. It is very well priced for the amount of game it offers.

    This game is alright in the way it works but for a game that needs to stand out, nothing much is special. It is functional for passing time, but there r much better options to play. But the cost of it is good.

    its fine to play. nothing too fancy, just basic stuff. its good if you are fine with moderate attributes put together. the sound is almost nonexistent. the price is less but if you spend a bit more, you can rather get forza or something.

    As a racing gamer novice, I liked that this game provided a good in-between, as opposed to very difficult Project Cars or a very easy NFS. It also delivers great quality and great graphics for a very reasonable price. Handling and tracks are challenging, but not frustrating. Overall, a great game worth playing for a few hours everyday.

    Just coming off of the disappointment of NFS Payback, I found the no-nonsense racing experience quite refreshing. The leaderboards are great motivation to keep playing. The tracks are long and offer a great challenges. The optimization and sense of speed is fantastic. Also, the controller support was very impressive. All in all, a great game worth playing.
