Mechanically this is basic stuff - think early Grand Prix LCD games where the player vehicle weaves between fixed scrolling cars and you're close enough. Some stages ask you to dodge or collect things in slightly different ways, but it's still a reactions test that becomes a route learner if you want to git gud, rather than something that intrinsically relies on rhythm. Simplistic, but I like that sort of thing. It lacks substance but manages to style it out thanks to the aforementioned style. Music is a mixed bag of mostly decent tunes that enhances everything the louder you crank the volume. Even skateboards make a successful comeback here, so a round of applause is required for the whole audiovisual package. It's over fairly quickly but it's all just about varied enough to finish in one sitting. Some stages would be worth replaying but I'd happily not have played the clever clever click shift one in the first place. Smoke & Mirrors/popcorn for the eyes, but apparently that's okay if we're not stroking our chins at a Hollywood blockbuster. On a list also containing Thumper, Aaero and Neon Drive it places third. It's not a good game per se, but it is a decent videogame and I enjoyed my time with it. *Puffs on nonsense pipe* [6] Edit: For reference I gave Virginia a [7] iirc.
