As for someone who grew up in the ps-ps2 era and never played this game (which is sad) I can say that this game is… really good and breath of fresh air.

This game does not need a multiplayer. Idk why people are saying it should when there is no need for one. Every racing game DOES NOT need a multiplayer. This is old school game with a true campaign. As I said before, I never played this game before but after playing it for a couple days, anyone who has played it back in the day will tell you the same exact thing
