    This is a great game, but has many glitches, and the framerate isue was still not resolved last patch...oh well, im still playin. Can anyone beat my 0-60 in 2.4, top-speed 300 mph DevilSport? I didnt think so.

    It's an awesome game and i love the options, the only thing it lacks is officially liscensed cars and a more detailed environment. Watch out though it can mess up everynow and then, it cost me my favorite car.

    The detail is improved over the first game (its another dimension...) tuning is greatly increased as well (you can balance the air/fuel mixture for example). Gameplay needs some training but it´s quite fun if you setup your car the right way.

    Nice car-tuning game... but still quite bugy. I have some problems with the sky (sky is trasperent..) but i'm sure that there will be some patches out soon...

    It is a very good game, but there is many fails in SL. But there is very much time in it !

    Really good game! Concept is perfect. Only bad thing is that there aren't enough different cars to tune.

    It seems that the release of this game was an unfortunate event. the game brags about giving you a more technical experience that requires technical knowhow. It fails at that. There is only a handful of cars available in game and the upgrades available to them are limited to only a few parts to. this makes the whole thing feel very limited. The game also fails at the physics department.It seems that the release of this game was an unfortunate event. the game brags about giving you a more technical experience that requires technical knowhow. It fails at that. There is only a handful of cars available in game and the upgrades available to them are limited to only a few parts to. this makes the whole thing feel very limited. The game also fails at the physics department. the car handling can be different with each car and upgrades, but different does not mean better. the controls are jerky and frustrating. You could easily loose the control of your car and crash it. that would leave you with a permanently damaged car that costs a lot to fix. In case you got no money left, then you are in a dead end and the game does a hell of a poor job with its save system. Due to its poor controls racing gets easily frustrating. Even drag races get frustrating, and you would try to avoid police chases as they are not worth the effort and the cost in damages. To the graphics now, the game looks absolutely rubbish. the game world looks lame and the car models aside some damage modelling, look basic and lacklustre. and the same goes for the sound. There are a lot of technical problems too. the game is plagued by poor performance, bugs and glitches. why people like this game is beyond me. make your self a favour a and stay away from it. Expand

    Personally, I LOVE THIS GAME! I love the car building and tuning! But I think the driving is OK. The sounds are bad, the racing is very bad, too. But you can replace the sounds with pretty nice sounds. This game is now abandonware, because the game was so unpopular. I wish someone would create a game just like this with better graphics, racing, physics, and customization! I'm actually gladPersonally, I LOVE THIS GAME! I love the car building and tuning!

I'm actually glad the game was abandoned because you not can get the game for free legally because there is no more ownership to the game. Also you can get TONS of awesome mods for the game! The best website for modding is GOM-TEAM. I posted a mod there to change the menu sounds, and they are pretty nice! :D There is someone named Raxat. He is making an AWESOME patch for the game that makes it 10x better! I just hope someone would make a mod that gives the game better physics and multiplayer if its possible. I once made a dragster Volks Wagon beetle! LOL!

    At first I never knew this game even EXISTED! But now that I found out, I fell in love with this game, and the community for it! :D Try it out yourself! And mod the heck out of the game!

  1. The car mechanic aspect of the game is great, because it lets you do more to the cars than any game before it, but the racing aspect is just so incredibly bad. Graphically the game is an improvement over the first, but it still suffers from many of the same problems, like performance.
  2. It's a shoddy game, full of graphical bugs, requiring a PC a damn sight more powerful than stated on the box, and lacking the under-the-hood accessibility that might otherwise endear it to the arcade racer.
