    Unrelentingly simple and yet uncontrollably addictive, Absolute Drift is a comfort game in every sense of the term.

    Often contrasting a white background with bright block objects, there could not have been a better mix for a game all about avoiding things.

    Walks the fine line between being unbearably frustrating and incredibly good fun to play.

    If you liked Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift but thought it had 16 million too many colours then this slick, arcadey drift ’em up is for you. While it has style for days and is easy to get into, the game’s mayfly-like lifespan is a real shame. If you like shaving lap times, and games that look like technical drawings, then Absolute Drift: Zen Edition is one to check out.

Wish I could like this game more.… Full Review »

First and foremost, the music in the game is absolutely awesome if you like electronic type music. Very chill, very zen. The graphics are very minimalistic, but that is fine because its about the game play. How is the game play? Very challenging and will take a bit to get the hang of. You can use automatic transmission which makes it a little easier or go manual where you have full control. Also 3 different levels of difficulty. There are different missions to accomplish, but it is a very linear type game. Try and drift, beat specific goals on courses, get the best score you can, go to the next. With that said, for a $12.00 game, i feel i am more than getting my money's worth.… Full Review »

A tutorial that explains how you can do different things with the car would've been cool too. It was a bit too hard for be but all in all you can play it.… Full Review »
