It wouldn’t be so bad if the collision physics were good, but they suck. Seriously, I played vehicular combat games that have less aggressive AI than this.

They hit, smash, and spin me like I’m playing a Burnout game. Combative AI & Bad Collision Physics Regarding the AI, they are WAY too combative. While I feel like the vehicle handling and drifting mechanics itself needs to be worked on more, I would like to see how much better they would be if vehicles had way more downforce. This completely throws off the vehicle handling when it happens. I noticed that when taking corners, my wheels would lift off the ground on relatively flat surfaces. I believe the issue mainly stems from the floaty driving physics. Floaty Vehicle Physics Something just doesn’t feel right with the vehicle handling in this game. While I don’t think they should change the tracks we have now, they should consider making more vertical and complex maps for the future. With the weapons now gone, it draws a lot more attention to the basic map design. In a weaponized combat racer, it's better to have more flat and less complex tracks for the weapons to be usable. I couldn’t understand this at first, but then it hit me: these maps were originally designed with the vehicular combat in mind. All the tracks are very flat and way more simple than other arcade racers. Lackluster Track Design While Hotshot Racing’s tracks look amazing, their design is very lacking. Thankfully, it seems like we will be getting additional free updates to add more content, with the newest Big Boss update adding in a new tournament, a new gamemode and four new tracks. Due to this, the game had an anemic launch with only four tournaments and four gamemodes. This left the game with a lot less content than it was originally supposed to have. A lot of the original game modes were scrapped, mostly likely due to their reliance on the weapons to make them function properly. Lack of Content One common complaint I saw was the amount of content at launch. It has multiple problems stemming from the physics, AI and boost system that hold it back. It has multiple problems stemming from the Hotshot Racing has the potential to be a really great arcade racer, but it just falls short.
