Would have been better if it had brakes

Brakes may be for losers, but at least games that have brakes are good. Now with my (probably failed) attempt at a funny joke, let's move on to the actual review. BAFL is a top-down racing game that's way too chaotic for its own good. 8 racers on a very small track with power-ups happening is a bit too much, and it shows occasionally. My car was getting damaged so when I wanted to make a pit stop, I got pushed off constantly by the AI and my race was pretty much ruined at that point. And in general I feel the racing controls to be very.. average at best? I mean as expected there are no brakes so you slide all over the place, But when you are racing alone, the problem with having no brake shows. There are additional challenges per level which include Time Attack and Perfect Racing, which means hitting no sides of the road. This is doable, but you can see by the great amount of lesser players in the latter challenges that few people really enjoy it, and I can't blame them. The other aspect to BAFL is that it's somewhat of a party game, excusing the actual racing mechanics I guess? But even then, you're probably done with the game after a few races and then put it down. I don't recommend this game, but there is a demo in case you're curious.
