Uninteresting

Used it very briefly, but that was enough for me to know that I have no interest in this game. First, you can only see the car from the side. I’m looking for a game where one can see the road ahead of one, so that one can feel the motion in a visceral way. This has none of that visceral impact. Second, I had to use Audio Hijack to mute it, since it was playing annoying music and noises over my iTunes without an obvious way to turn them off. Third, attempting to set license plate text costs money. Apparently, “real” money. Games are supposed to be about wish fulfillment, being able to do pretty much whatever I feel like doing. If it’s advertised as a free game, it should be free. It’s hard enough to find free games in the App Store, which ridiculously doesn’t allow filtering for them but shows all that paid rubbish in search results even though I’m not going to spend money on a game I haven’t tried out first. Finally, it gives notification center notifications when the app isn’t even running, trying to get you to start it up and start playing. I just wish the old Russian game Safari Biathlon Racer for Windows would work on Mac, it had a very fun demo mode, and the full version was open about being like $20 without pretending the actual game was “free”. I’m not sure why the App Store requires me to give it at least one star to say that I “hate” this game — I wouldn’t give it one if I was feeling generous. Back to the open source SuperTuxKart already, this rubbish is getting sent to the trash can with extreme prejudice. Peace out.
