Gameplay
The gameplay to this is similar to other arcade racing games what is really cool is the fact that you can play with your avatar. The different tracks that can be unlocked through progression are really good and add a whole other depth of gameplay to this really fun game. During the races you need to do different tricks to earn points so you can progress through the levels to gain more tracks and game modes to play on, you want to keep playing in order to unlock these new aspects of the game which is really good. There is a number of cool vehicles to race in each with its own set of pros and cons. The gameplay feels really fluid and smooth and the actual racing feels very good. I can honestly say that if you play this game you will have a lot of fun.

Multiplayer
This game in my opinion is best enjoyed playing either locally or online with your friends. The extra sense of competition and comradery is what makes this game awesome to play with friends, the standard races are good but the other modes like trick modes and battles are also really good. What's good about this game is that it doesn't take itself too seriously and that is what makes it so fun to play.

Graphics
The graphics to this game are a cartoon style and work really well with the inclusion of your avatar. The colours are very bold and vibrant and the landscapes are sharp and quite detailed. The tracks look very nice and they made the avatars look really good in game. The textures are really good there is no problem in terms of rendering them. The cars look really cool and detailed even though they are obviously arcade type.I will add some screenshots below so feel free to check them out and see what it looks like in game.
