Ratings and reviews

The street races basically boil down to a game of rock paper scissors where the creator arbitrarily decides one of the options are the wrong option no matter what your stats are and it leads to you dying in a horrific crash or straight up losing so that you have to come back and challenge the rival again where as long as you have high stats you auto win with no description. This completely rips you out of the experience and makes it feel like a guessing game. I'd refund my money if I could.

Besides the Grammar, there are several areas of dialoge that are either unrealistic or just make no sense for why they need to be "said" or should I say written, anyway I haven't even finished the demo chapter(s) and it's already not looking good, this is just my take on it but I can confidently say I wouldn't pay for this as it currently is. I will wait to see if it is fixed up or left as is.

well I just finished playing both using cheat and normal and I will say this is what I have been talking about, something that has to do with adrenaline man, the game is dope and the storyline touching man it feels like I was the one in the game, but my only opinion although I won't call it a problem yet is that the cheat menu does not work well to me, I mean why will I have full stats and you will still have me train them and why will I lose a race after a single mistake if I am full stats?
