Three modes – campaigns, local events, and online events.
Campaigns have time trials and race challenges.
Three default difficulties but you can create your own sets of difficulties.
For campaigns, you can pick and choose how many AI opponents you have.
You can pause the campaigns.
The race challenges name all the AI opponents randomly but in a way that it feels like it could be real people’s names.
Some of the tightest handling in a racing game, it’s effortless and satisfying as hell to skid and drift around corners.
Great looking locations.
Has a Trackmania feel to it from the way it plays to the looks and high player numbers on a track.
In campaigns, you earn stars for your performance to unlock new tracks.
Every race has everyone playing in the same car.
Drifting and drafting make all the difference.
When racing you can have the race leaderboards on screen, player names above their car, or turn off all Hud elements.
It’s a game for both veterans and new recruits to enjoy.
So much fun to play.
Very addictive.
It is a game where honestly it doesn’t feel like you are playing online.

Turbo Sliders Unlimited Review Cons:

You need access to a keyboard for entering a tag clan if using a controller or big screen mode.
Modes like the editors and customize still need the mouse to navigate menus and quit out.
You get so many options for every little thing that it’s overwhelming, I mean it has option drop-down choices, and it just keeps going.
No actual tutorial, doesn’t really need one but this is a heads-up.
Return to track is the slowest I’ve ever seen in a game.
The AI opponents can be properly cheesy.
The music is not great.
