Dinsun Review
I’ve seen better car deformation on a PS3. This 'simulator' is more of an arcade toy that breaks in pre-determined ways. The driving physics are atrocious—the cars feel like they have no weight until they hit a wall, at which point they turn into a cloud of generic debris. It lacks the surgical, satisfying destruction of a real physics sim.
The progression is locked behind a wall of currency that practically demands you watch an ad after every single crash. It kills any sense of 'experimental' fun when you have to sit through a 30-second commercial for a puzzle game just to retry a jump. It’s a low-effort distraction that gets old after about three crashes. If you’ve played a real racing game in the last decade, this will feel like a massive step backward.
