Due to DRM or shoddy coding this game constantly reads its data files from the disk and makes playing a terrible experience.

At times no missions are shown on the map - it's not clear what to do.

The controls are horrible as always where Tab works as Esc, where Num 2 4 6 8 have some functions but they are not explained anywhere.

Some races show Exclamation marks next to them and there's no explanation what they mean.

On Hard mode the game is way too easy except the very first race. I remember NFS Underground was a painful grind to complete, this game is a breeze for the elder with the only exception of Level 5 Heat races.

Instead of presenting mission races as plain words, e.g. Sprint, Drift, Off-Road, etc. you see four squares. Why?

The game is poorly optimized.

Still, overall a nice game though kinda a short one.
