    Cool idea I guess but I found it way too difficult, as usual.

    I tried a few races in manual mode and consistently ended up 8 of 8th place...

    Was looking for something casual and fun, not repetitively difficult..

    I bought this for its old school 90s aesthetics but its looks are the only thing it has going for it. There is no skill involved in winning as you can crash as much as you want and still win. The track layouts are pretty basic with no shortcuts. I deleted this game after winning the first 6 races. I just felt like I could of won them all with my eyes closed.

    Hotshot Racing is a great retro racing game inspired by the 90's classics like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA or Scud Race with tons of fun, especially in its multiplayer modes, only overshadowed by slightly disappointing AI.

    Hotshot Racing feels like a nice throwback to the arcade era, back when SEGA was dominating with the likes of Daytona USA. The game is clearly retro in its gameplay, and it's quite refreshing to be able to escape the current trend of hardcore sims.

    High on speed and low on polygons, Hotshot Racing is a super-saturated, old-school ode to the golden era of early ’90s 3D racers. Drawing oodles of inspiration from acclaimed coin-op kings like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, and Ridge Racer, Hotshot Racing is confident, quick, and boasts a cracking arcade handling model, although its tracks are mostly simple and cause it to quickly lose a bit of steam as a single-player experience.
