    The game is a lot of fun, thanks to responsive controls and good collision detection and LOTS of drifting.
    The minute sprites make it hard to see which vehicle is which.
    The sound effects are good and music is OK.
    You can choose from dune buggies to large trucks and have any mix in a race.
    More tracks would have been nice.

  1. At its core Driift Mania is a nice slice of nostalgia and a racing game that's all about fun. A higher level of customisability and a more relevant single-player mode would have been nice, but as it stands solo players still have a great offering in three multiplayer modes they can enjoy on their own.
  2. Micro Machines remains to be beaten, but this top-down racer is still fun if you have enough friends.

    Takes an old genre and breathes new life into it. Top-down racing hasn't been this fun in ages. [Oct 2009, p.86]
