It's close to being a great arcade racing game, but there are so many downsides. First, it vomits cars and other rewards at you from the first second, so there is NO sense of progress and obviously no story. Bigger than that though, the user generated content, which had the potential of making the game live forever, is buggy as hell, and it's impossible to find what you want and even harder to play what you want, especially with friends.
