    I prefer more deathrace, and not cheating AI. I'll leave this one a bit
    and come back to see if anyone's claimed it in a week or so.

    The AI isn't that bad; it's more or less what was common to racing
    games in the late 90s and 2000s, using constant rubber-banding to
    maintain the challenge. The game is in no way a sim, and so its AI
    exists mostly to feed the adrenalin high of zipping around the tracks
    at 200mph with an opponent always nipping at your heels. But at the
    same time, it also relents if you start lagging behind. It's not an
    /honest/ race... but it is a fun one. The antics of the AIR are not
    really a reason to avoid the game... but it is something people should
    be aware of.

    I personally hate that kind of AI. I always notice it. Definitely not getting it. Thanks for the update so I don't waste a free game.

    Now why can't that be done with all the crappy escort quests in CRPGs?
