    Not bad at all, this game is a pretty entertaining and fun arcade racer, especially for the low price. The cars drift nicely and handles pretty good and there are usually some online multiplayer games going on, at least the times I've been in there.

    Graphic is decent. Easy to control. A good game for 1$. But here is something I feel bad about this game:
    1. In race mode, not the one who pass finish line first win. Your time is reduced by score gained in race, so even if you are the last one passed the finish line, you can still get first place.
    2. Hitting obstacles is good for you because it doesn't reduce your speed and give you    Graphic is decent. Easy to control. A good game for 1$. But here is something I feel bad about this game:

    2. Hitting obstacles is good for you because it doesn't reduce your speed and give you score which can give you speed and time.
    3. If you want you can use nitrogen nearly all the time. The screen is always shaking. That really make me sick.
    Consume score for speed and time is really really not a good idea for race game. You'll never know the proper exchange rage.    … Expand

    At first I underrated this game, but after completing few races, I raised a score a bit. There is no story at all, but for a short arcade game it's not a necessary. I'll start with introduction of game - it's not like the most games, where you need to drive accurate and avoid objects, but here you get points from smashing road signs, which are used to unleash nitrous.

I'll start with introduction of game - it's not like the most games, where you need to drive accurate and avoid objects, but here you get points from smashing road signs, which are used to unleash nitrous. There are several tracks and in different challenges the paths changes a bit. Also there are few modes in game, like last man standing and similar. Of course the most important part of the game are cars, which divides into three classes - muscle, street, race, and 5-6 cars in each class. You can use any car in each challenge, but you have to unlock them before. Each car has color themes witch gives different bonuses, point boost from drifting and etc. It gives a game a bit of life, because there no other upgrades or tuning for cars. Graphics are average, not edgy. Gameplay is very repetitive and opponents are easy. The most annoying thing in it was that you have to use nitro almost all the time you drive, so screen is shacking like crazy, it hurts my eyes. Apart of that it is a good arcade game. The price meets the quality, so if you feel an urge to drive cheap, buy it.… Expand

    Ignite delivers a fun game-play, a good number of tracks and nice graphics, all for a bargain price. The game lacks of personality, though, since there are only a few differences between each car.

    A short burst of too easy fun at too high a price. [Feb 2012, p.93]

    Nice arcade racing game should focus on improving its AI and better design of its track. For the budget price it is a good choice though. [Dec 2011]

    If you want something quick to play on, then you could do worse than what Ignite has to offer. It's racing at its simplest, there is multiplayer, and for the price it might just be worth you checking out to see if it is your cup of tea.
