Sure. But there are no bots to fill slots in multiplayer. So, unless you get a full compliment of players (or thereabouts), the game doesn't reach its potential. Moreover, for those that want to LAN with a couple of friends (a key to a game's longevity), they're only racing with a couple of cars on the track. The recently released Mini Motors Racing EVO made the same mistake and has received gamer ire as a result. Another, Fireburst, too, made the same mistake and disappeared into the ether as a result (despite having split-screen functionality).

PC gaming is no longer the basement dwelling loner pursuit it once was perceived as. With large HD TV's de rigueur nowadays, people use their PC's like beefed up consoles more and more. Thus, local multiplayer should always be catered for, if possible.

Protip:
Racing games, especially, should always have bot support in all modes, even if only as a toggleable option. Great racers of yesteryear (the Super Mario Karts, Diddy Kong Racings etc) would have been nothing without coöp versus the computer. Online is good, but it should never become the be-all and end-all when it comes to multiplayer functionality.

No bot racers in multiplayer LAN make this game a solitary affair, sadly. Dunno why so many devs make such obvious mistakes...

Good game but lacks bots in LAN or any split-screen functionality, making it a lonesome, short-lived ride.

6/10

Very nice-looking game. I'd definitely throw down for a fully fledged version ...but it would have to have LAN / split-screen and a minimum six bot racers (e.g., eight racers in total for a 2-player game). I'd also like some whether effects, like rain, wind, waves etc.

8.5/10
