Early Access Review
Update: Holy Hell, almost four years later and this thing is finally released with a full "okayish" soundtrack, new vehicles, new tracks, a career mode, tons of parts to upgrade cars with, decent customization options, and near perfect optimization. Even with all that said, I still think anyone looking into it should wait for a sale of $30 minimum, but it is definitely a fully working game that doesn't still feel like it is still in early access even after release.

Lazy Review:
Rating: 88/100 - Fun Little smash n' crash game and the physics are amazing, does not currently have much else to offer.

Still Somewhat Lazy Review:
Oh bugbear, looks like you've managed to steal my heart with this one. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed FlatOut:UC, I can say I look forward to the full release of this, and even now, the fact that you can "shape-shift" your car to nonsensical proportions in a race, whether you consent to it or not, and have pieces of cars just scattered all over the place is just damn-tastic.

However, in it's current state I do not think it's worth the full price tag, maybe $20 at the max, simply because to me there doesn't seem to be enough content, such as cars, upgrades, tracks, minigames, and a good soundtrack. The two or three music tracks currently in the game get repetitive and annoying when sitting in a lobby for so long, so I ended up turning off music altogether and just used my own.

Should you buy this game? Yes, but you may get bored of it quickly due to a lack of content. Pick it up on sale and if you get bored, you can always wait for release, which may or may not have a full $60 price tag.
