Pako Highway

Pros: Tracks feel unique, the cars are iconic, the scoring and boost systems reminds me of Burnout, the simple graphics won't age, there's camera and song options, and the ads are spaced and short. Cons: Cars feel the same, and the handling stat seems arbitrary. I'd suggest doing drivetrains instead and adding under/oversteer at high/low speed based on that. Adding brakes that quickly overheat could play into this and solve the infamous NPC pileup issue. Also, some hood cams need tweaking BAD.

Another excellent entry into the pako series, however. There are times where cars suddenly crash into each other and can take up an entire two lanes of road making you crash, this is especially prevalent on maps with intersections such as neon daze and tsuki highway. Another issue is that sometimes the distance diamonds won't work properly, I will pass the required distance and it won't count towards my diamonds.

I could never explain how annoying some maps are. There are certain maps where the cars are just programmed to block the whole road. Just from the very start, the cars are all jumbled up and you had no way around so you just crash. There are at least two maps that sets you up to fail. There's also a map that even when I already reached the kilometer goal, the diamond won't show up! Its ridiculous. Lastly, a map where you need a tall car just to reach the damn diamond. FIX IT.
