Overall a fun little rally game with a nice selection of cars and a solid handling model. The game has some strong PS2 era vibes due to its graphics. I mean this in the best kind of way, because it fits the game.

Difficulty wise, the handling model is fairly forgiving, but has enough depth to it to the point where tweaking some settings actually matters. As far as the Rally events go, there's a nice variety of them and most of the stages have a great flow to them. To get back to the point of difficulty. Winning rallies (and whole events) feels fairly easy. However, winning certain stages in some of these rallies feels next to impossible from time to time, without retrying several times and in most cases some egregious corner cutting or other tricks. In a rally with 5 stages, you can expect 1 or 2 of them to be like that. One stage you win by almost 7 seconds, the next one you're putting in way more effort to only be 2 seconds slower than the winning time. It very much feels like the game is artificially setting way faster times on certain stages to keep the time differences in the overall rally relatively close.

That's the only minor gripe I have with the game. I like its simple progression system of earning some money, and putting that towards a car, so you can participate in some other events. That PS2 era look feels nostalgic, and like I mentioned the handling model is accessible yet more in-depth than you would expect at first glance.
