Don’t get me wrong, you’ll meet plenty of players outside, in the city, but since the 4 cities are big enough, many players are doing missions, and there are multiple channels, chatting outside the Driver Dome rarely happens, unless you’re at a pit stop buying mittron. Players even have bump detection, meaning that you can crash into other players, but the player with the most speed keeps going forward (with a loss of speed), and the loser gets pushed backwards or out of the way, but there is no penalty for crashing into players, as their is with NPCs; crashing into an NPC makes your boost gauge drop, based on how hard you crashed into them.
The game has a very large amount of vehicles to choose from for driving, but no motorcycles. The vehicles are ranked by classes that range from V1 cars to V9 cars, with the class of car you can buy determined by your level and your money of course. The cars are all modelled after real-life cars with fake brand names, but Chrysler and Jeep branded vehicles are in the game. The cars themselves are modelled pretty well for a free game, and actually look good in cel-shading. You can
outfit your car with neon lights, good looking rims, and a large amount of vinyls, or even actual photos, but most of those items are bought in the cash shop, which, after buying them, you get for a certain amount of time.
Driving your car is just like in any other driving game albeit with a keyboard. The game has fairly simple driving controls, you drive with the arrow keys or WSAD keys, you drift with the shift key, and you use your boost with the ctrl key. The only issue this game has with driving is that, no matter how fast you go, you never feel like you’re going really fast at all. In other words, you know you’re going fast, the game tells you you’re going fast, but you don’t feel like it; the only time you feel you’re going fast is when you rotate the camera to view the side of your car, and you see the environment whizzing by. To fix this issue, the developers might add a blur effect, or add the ability to change view options, because, as far as racing games go, this one is lacking in driving options. You can’t drive in a first person view, you can’t change between automatic or manual transmission, and you can’t upgrade the engine. Don’t get me wrong, there are items you can equip your car with, like in other MMOs, to help it drive faster and increase other stats, but it’s nowhere near as satisfying as adding turbo, or supercharging, an engine. For those willing to invest in the cash shop, though, you can make your car look like it belongs in Midnight Club, more than in a regular racing game.
