Bumping other cars (or even smashing straight into them)hardly matters, no drafting, apexes are irrelevant...There really isn't much to this one outside of buying upgrades, flooring it, and staying on the track. It looks good and runs smooth, but that's about it.
This is a very good racing game, but nonetheless a step backwards from the excellent Grand Prix Go. It plays smoother than GPG did (especially when it first came out), but simply isn't as fun. The biggest problem is that the first 9 races aren't challenging after you've upgraded, unless you choose a slower car...and who really wants to go slower?
