First GOTW finished for 2024. Great visuals for the time, and the music rules. It's also nice not having the computer car immediately behind rubber-band you the entire race. However, constantly throwing obstacles at you in tight windows (looking at you, Chicago) ultimately leaves it feeling more like a game of reflexes and less like a game of skill. Still, this one is fun and campy enough that it grows on you anyway.

More like cruis'n California, amirite!?
