The story is poorly written and the characters are bland and pointless.
The racing would be just fine but it gets grindy and repetitive after only 2 hours.
I'd say it's totally playable if you just need to scratch that racing game itch but otherwise move along.
On a personal note, some of the runner missions were a bit much. Sometimes it's just 5 minutes of trying to drive through chaos as cops ram into you, killswitch the car, and ruin your run.
Edit - It's not just runner missions. A lot of these missions it feels like the development team didn't know how to make the races more interesting or challenging so they just made them longer and put more rocks and trees in the way.
This game is almost an okay game but in it's current state it's unfinished and unplayable.
