This game is not as hard as everyone is making out. You just have to learn to hold off on the accelerator at points to give you the optimum drift lines.
BUG/EXPLOIT
You can sit inside enemy bosses, and because there is no collision with enemies that shoot if the enemy is large enough you will never get hit by bullets, but your bullets will hit them
This game is awesome imo, the graphics are great, character models, backgrounds and attacks are all humorous and cleanly presented.
And the fact that you do less damage makes it somewhat challenging. But not at all impossible.
