Huh. Let's talk about the goods shall we? The idea is a new one. Keeping an avatar as your car so you can communicate and interact with others it hasn't been done before and it's something new.great, The graphics are pretty nice and the car models are quite well done. You can basically identify what car you are driving without having to guess. Community is nice and friendly, lots of good fun loving people out there that arn't looking for a hardcore racing game, and I like the Item System where you don't have to pick up stuff, it automatically goes to your inventory. You can make parties consisting of a maximum of 4 people and Crews (Guilds) are fun. The chat system is quite useful where you can block out stupid spammers and such. The game is fun loving and can get addicting trying to get new cars and to customize them into your dream car, including decals, performance parts, and body kits. 2 racing modes, Team and Individual, so that there is a sence of competition and HUV challenge arrests which you can do with a party to pass time and level up. Plenty of missions that bring in lots of Mite or money.
The bad. They screwed up all the car names, a 2005 Ford Mustang is called a "Snake". Fake capitalism such as "Pizza HAT" and "Burger BONG" are quite annoying. The game does not represent drifting at all really, the Korean name of the game is "Skid City". Skid is much better than drift because you do not drift at all, more like power slides. You get too much of the same dumb item when you do HUV challenges and your inventory fills up fast. Coupon system is quite stupid. You must complete an objective such as a number of combos to recieve a coupon. HOWEVER, you need the coupon and you still need to pay for the car it self at full price. If they can't make it free, they should at least give it a discount price. The game looks way too much like a manga/anime game like MapleStory which is not to my liking. The missions don't make much sence either and leveling up to get more cars can be really tiring. Also there are a number of odd glitches which doesn't look very polished and an annoying narrator keeps talking in your face when you race, the choice of vocabulary isn't all that great either, such as instead of Nitrous, they say Boost, which is for more childish players, or younger ones.
Overall, the game reminds me quite a bit like the failure MapleStory, but still a fun loving game. No where close to the reality of GRID and Need For Speed series and GT, but for more relaxed players.
It's not bad, I can't say anymore things for it.
Graphics 8/10
Difficulty 10/10
Value 10/10
Overall Polish 4/10

Overall 8/10. Hey, It's free, and thats as good as it gets, unlike WarRock, an epic failure.
