Our take on Slipstream 5000
The bounce point comes when a player expects conventional motor racing: the game switches to anti-gravity aircraft, character-specific weapons, airborne maneuvers, and dramatic crashes. Players seeking a grounded driving simulator may leave at that shift, while local multiplayer requires a second participant.
