It's genuinely fascinating how big of a step-down CCE is from the original Saturn version.
It feels significantly slower, the handling is ridiculously stiff, the drift mechanic is completely busted to the point of being unusable, the iconic original car models were replaced with the most generic designs imaginable, and the legendary vocal tracks were brutally mutilated into instrumentals that range from forgettable to borderline intolerable. The game overall feels like it had all its personality stripped out to be just another disposable racing game to throw onto the pile, it looks pretty and runs well, but at what cost?
