The race itself is quite short, and is either fun, or a torture, depending on how you like the controls.
So, by the time you get to the race, you’ll have spent some ten minutes going through all that tedious garage roll.
Imagine walking into a car repairs shop, cashing out a bag of money and saying – give me whatever you have.
#MINI MOTOR RACING CONTROLS UPGRADE#
Whenever you purchase spare parts to upgrade your cars, you basically play a stupid version of Russian roulette – you pay your money, coupons, coins, whatever and wait a random part to get generated by the mysterious algorithm behind the curtains. You can scrap the cars for the spare parts, or you can build a vehicle, but here is the catch. I have done the procedure several times now and I am still not sure if I am doing it right. And only a small amount of parts gets available for the coins while the rest is only accessible for the coupons and clover leaves. The spare parts purchase part gets further confused by the amount of in-game currencies – gold coins, coupons, clover leaves, to name a few. If you should wish to upgrade the car and buy some parts, expect to tap through the same windows trying to figure out how the things are supposed to work. At best, you might be waiting for at least 20 seconds in between the re-tries. Lose a race and want to retry – go through the same screens and loading times over again. So, before you get to the race, you need to choose the car, upgrade or customize it, and then wait through the loading screens to start the race. Each race needs a particular car to suit the road type and the weather conditions. This is supposed to be a fun process, but it’s more of a confusing and tedious one. First off, there is a ton of cars to unlock, buy, customize, tune and upgrade.
#MINI MOTOR RACING CONTROLS SERIES#
To get to the actual race, you will have to go through a series of confusing, repetitive, and utterly boring must-do windows. The league racing gets unlocked as you reach level 5, Race Club – level 7, Challenges some time around level 4. By default, only the career mode is unlocked, and you play earning XP points and leveling up to unlock the other modes. There are several modes to race – a single-player career mode, league, challenges, club events and race club. This game, however, gives you many ways to race, but a lot more ways to distract from the very racing. When I look for a racing game, all I want to do is race. I wish I could say Mini Motor Racing WRT is all about racing, but it would be true only partially. Just like them, I was looking forward to a fun racing game and I so much wanted to rate the game 5 stars, but unfortunately, Mini Motor Racing WRT holds a formidable amount of small nags that amount to a huge pile of irritation.
