The game is good and has a lot of potential but it has 3 major problems for now:
1) Small amount of tracks and lack of their adjustment
2) Unbalanced career difficulty and lack of good tutorial
3) Totally dead multiplayer and lack of its adjustment
What do i mean by that? Well, first of all, there are only 7 tracks in this game (well, ok, 14 but other 7 are just bonus mirrored versions of other 7) and you cannot really adjust them at all. All modes you have for singleplayer are either one-lap time trials against ghosts of real players or 3-lap races against ghosts of bots. Yeah you may say there is also star and treasure hunting but it's more like bonus activity rather than a full-fledged mode. On top of that, even bots' ghost have only one route programmed, and because the game has changing pieces of the track they can safely go through walls which confuses you, especially when you are doing career races. Oh, about career...
It is really unbalanced, some challenges are too easy, some are too hard. Even the very first race you do in the game requires you to beat pro racer to get a gold medal and you are likely to get bronze when you only start to play. Of course, after some practice you will easily take gold but was it so hard to make more easy challenge for newcomers, like give golden medal for beating advanced or just give separate times for it? In addition, career introduces some nice mode ideas, which never appear again in the game and which have zero explanation for the career. I still don't really understand how to do tricks properly to keep the multiplayer up and score higher than for bronze medal. On top of that, at the end of pre-last chapter, in two last challenges of it, the game decides to shift difficulty to super-duper hard and these challenges become barely completable. Ok, I can understand that you need to be super precise and fast in the race against a extremely pro racer and this may take several tries, but the other challenge is like that only because there is no explanation in the game what's the damn difference between "landing", "good landing" and "perfect landing". It took me like 2 hours to complete this singe one and I'm 99% it was accidently.
And the icing on the cake is that one of the core parts of the game - racing against other people - is absent because nobody plays the game, which really hurts it. Though, being totally honest, multiplayer is not the best here: no adjust for tracks (you can’t even choose the one you want to race - it's randomly done by game), tracks only racing, no collision for players too. Was it hard to do at least multiplayer freeroam, so people could do tricks together?
As for smaller problems:
1) Some achievements are bugged
2) Flight part of racing is kinda too slow and sense of speed is not the best
3) Some career challenges have strange choice of objectives
4) Lack of customisation for your vehicle
5) Mostly empty freeroam
Now you may think that these problems completely kill the game and I'm not gonna recommend it but... no, it's still quite good and unique game. Despite all the issues, it's still fun to play it, interesting to complete career and just cool to beat some records of other players. Graphics are stylish, though blurry and acid a bit, music is nice, though there is not really big choice of tracks and you get tired of them in the middle of the games. Gameplay is quite unique with you having to magnet to surfaces for going faster and precisely swap surfaces to keep the pace. The ideas are really incredible but it's really painful for me to see that game with such potential fails and becomes more like a good prototype rather than a complete game.
What should do developers do? Well, reviving this game is not really the way, it seems that majority have already forgotten about it, and reviving games in general is a very subtle and complicated process with high chances of failure. It's better to develop a sequel with fixing all the issues. Add more tracks (or even let the players to create them via workshop), add at least basic adjustments for tracks ( number of laps, direction, time, number of rivals, etc), make decent AI for bots and collision for bots and players, make freeroam multiplayer, workout ideas from the career and develop them to the complete modes like tricks, star collection and many more, implement several ships and more paintjobs (and maybe even vinyls) for them, they can be either just cosmetics or can actually be unlockable and have different stats, to make races maybe making players less even in the race but making the race itself more interesting.
And this is just a small amount of what can be done. The core idea of combining ground racing, air racing and parkour is great and unique enough but the performance really suffers and that's a big pity.
But, all in all, should you buy this game? Well, if you are fine about spending 5-6 hours on not really balanced career mode, ready for small amount of tracks and can sit for hours trying to master one very track to the perfection, than - it's for you. Maybe you will even be able to talk your friends into buying this and then the game might become even more interesting.
P.S. Considering that I seem to be the only one who wrote about problems with career mode I am one of few who actually totally completed it and gotten all the achievements. Then, if developers are somehow reading this, there is a small message for them: some challenges have the same objective as a primary and as the one for hyper medal which doesn’t really make sense. Plus, the secret reward link given you at the end of the career, which seems to be [spoiler]some 3d models from the game[/spoiler] doesn’t work and the site tells that [spoiler]those models were deleted[/spoiler].
