I am also not a fan of the sparrow racing due to the way the controls are set up. I'd like my accelerator on the right trigger and break on the left like any other racing game. I'd also like to race in first person. Due to the lack of these features I have not been able to get into the racing. Also I think a battle mode would be better like twisted metal this is a shooter so why not have some form of that instead of racing sure they have bumping but that is not the same.
