Edit: Well, holy crap. I wasn't even trying for that, and now I can NEVER WORRY ABOUT THAT QUEST AGAIN.

Is it me or do the cars seem slow? I'm not feeling any sense of speed, especially on that first track.

Looks like a horrible version of Excite Truck. Doesn't seem like they even tried to mask that.

Ya know for 10 bucks it dosen't seem like a bad get for a basic Kart racer. I don't like having to find boxes to unlock cars though I'm not going to play the game long enough to find them and use them a lot sans with friends.

Actually they took a normal Arcade-download Driving game, changed it into a Kinect game, then changed to a disc-based driving game?

Hmm. This game does not look terrible.

Don't think I'll be picking it up, but it does not look terrible. Sorry, I'm just kinda shocked.

I could've been interested in this if they didn't kill it the first time that this was supposed to be an XBLA game.

I might get this once it's down to $5 and I've got nothing better to do with my life. It certainly looks like what should have been a free-to-play game way back when.

It was supposed to be F2P, not free. Pretty big difference.

Surprised they didn't leave the option in for Kinect, seems it wouldn't hurt & make the game available that way for those people that want it.

Wow, watching people treat cars as if they were skateboards and flipping them around doing tricks looks fucking stupid.

I remember doing this exact same thing in Hot Wheels Turbo Racing 11 years ago.

For that matter, I might download this to evoke some good memories of that game. And then turn around and play that game, because I've still got it and it's still fantastic.

Ryan is wrong, it wasn't a kinect game turned XBLA game, it was originally a F2P game that was meant to be a follow up to 1 Vs 100 but then instead we got that poker game that you had to pay for and wasn't very good.
