A recently released arcade racing mmo that features cell shaded graphics and RPG elements with light tuning elements.

gameplay takes place in two stages.. there's a quest area and the arena.

the first lets u accept all kinds of missions in order to earn experience and money. when u level up u get access to new cars and parts. there are supposedly 4 major cities but so far i've only reached the 2nd and they're all locked away till you've finished each main quest beforehand.

the arena is where u buy cars, upgrade and race. the racing is by far the most fun u can have in the game where up to 16 players can battle it out in team or individual matches.

i'm assuming the game is still in beta because there's little content in terms of upgrades and no cash shop at the moment... also the game is bugged from time to time. for instance during the races expect to see cars flying off the stage and such.

God their setup and registration is so fucking stupid. Fuckin morons.

[edit]
Wow, seriously don't evne bother with this, 1) They force you you to use IE 2) They literaly have you install tons of bullshit and even more bullshit connecting to the net. 3) They have you jump between IE and the installation bullshit none stop. Just took me 10 minutes to get it running. And none of that shit is removed when the game is, you have to manually remove it.

once you get through the stupid registration/instalation process, the game is quite fun, i like the cellshaded gfx. lets see how long before it becomes boring

Take no notice of Spykez he's seriously mistaken. I installed it quite happily with FF with no problems. Once the initial installation is over you can go to their website to start the game without any problems. All you have to do to play the game is install that and install a small wrapper program so you can use FF rather than IE.

Its a pretty good game too. Although I've not been playing long its quite complicated. I started to get slightly bored and thought I would delete it, all I seemed to be doing is delivery missions. Then one of the missions put me head to head with other players. Now thats great fun. I'm now determined to upgrade my car and delivery missions seem worthwhile again.

Well, it's not working for me, in either of my XP SP2 installations. I've installed the game, tried both IE and Firefox, but all I get after the Connecting to Server pop-up is the ijji Downloader Beta sitting on my tray doing nothing. Seems like hundreds in the forums are having the same problem, but no solution is there.

You damn lucky ones playing it already...

glad some people like it.

i had no problems installing it... and it was only until recently they made u install an auto installer. otherwise u just register to the site(which gives u access to every game), click on play live and wait for the game to download then install and when it's done click on play live again.

anyways i tend to stay away from missions that have nothing to do with progress... the delivery missions are like that. i find that doing some of the easier instant missions(purple ones) and main missions the easiest way to get exp/advance the game. doing the delivery missions just nets u a coupon after a set number afaik.

about them... in order to get some of the more "wanted" cars u need coupons as well as money in order to get them which is accomplished by getting different achievements. the coupon lady is symbolized with a star on the map.

now this is where the game is kinda imbalanced because apart from the first level of achievement u need stuff like 3000 minutes of wreckless driving(wrong side of the road), compete in 1000 matches, get 1000000(yes one million) combos etc.
dunno if they'll lower the requirement but some people specualte that since it's still so early and there aren't that many cars and options they'll lower them when the game progresses.

but as i said racing in 16 player matches with ur car is by far the most fun u can have in the game =).
