I fell in love with this game the moment I started playing it! It is super fun with very easy to use controls. The settings don't take away from that, as a matter of fact it just makes it that much better of an experience. Lets say you're having trouble getting the hang of things, are in a situation where tilting your phone to turn the car is hard like on a road trip, tilting your phone to control the car isn't your style, or whatever the case may be... there are many changes and tweaks you can make, experiment with, and try out to fix your play style making it easier to enjoy the game. This also allows you to pull your phone out, open the app, load up the game and start playing anywhere, any time, in any situation, and under any circumstances.
