downgrading to 2 stars. while this game boasted solid arcade style action the persistent ads are back and now they appear before you can even get into a race and often can't be skipped until you've basically watched the entire thing. I still believe the revenue would return if the rewards for voluntarily watching ads were better eg. lame credit boosts and/or not random eg. store card packs. I'm putting this game down now. I'm here to race first not watch ads first.
