slightly mad studios and codemasters are perfect for each other it seems, both making the same arcade crap nobody asked for in the same year

They want to emulate Forza Horizon's success but fail to understand that as dumb as their intended audience is, they're still not gonna buy a fake pair of Air Jordans when the real thing costs the same price.
